FNA and Glyphosate

[bgmb]

SF3 this is simple math and no more.
Last time we bought Clearout 41 plus (and yes this includes surfactant) from the US we picked up 2 275 gallon totes.
Which cost us a grand total of $6187.50 USD.
Or in todays dollars $7279 CDN for 2079 liters.
$3.50/liter CDN.
(picked up just over the line).
Yeah i had to do a bit more paperwork and spend half a day driving to pick it up but I saved $2079 and a membership in FNA.
This time I am looking for a higher quantity and i have been quoted a lower price so i will save even more.

I commend the efforts of FNA for getting this program rolling but if their program isn't competitive then i won't use it!

THen you may as well share where you can get it from with me because if you can get it for 3.50 canadian a liter I need 10,000. liters or 88 barrols of the stuff.
So $35,000.00 vs $42,500.00 is a $7,500.00 saving to me and Ill still give FNA my $182.00 for my membership and thank them for bringing it to canada.

Just phoned my guy can get a generic plus for 3.37 Canadian a liter delivered to williston ND. Oh what a glorious day.

ChuckChuck and Agstar77;

This must bring tears to your eyes!

A DUAL MARKET that works!

The big BOYS don't like it... but guess what!
They are still in business... making great profits... lots of growers buy from them too... sometimes at even twice the cost!

The law of one price sure works well here... doesn't it! LOL.

THis is exactly the way it was with the CWB before 1993... when the CWB kept their nose clean and left growers alone who were marketing and exporting only their own grain.

THe CWB is breaking the law... the common law of common courtesy and integrety... to respect others and their right to:

Work Hard,
Take Risks,
And PROSPER... if they are so inclined!

It is great when we live in a free and democratic country... isn't it!

I will Pubically thank MP David Anderson for the many hours of work he did... and Minister Strahl did... and many other MP's took the time to do... to keep these options open!

God Bless Canada!

Where do you go about finding the names of dealers in the US that will sell canadians clearout 41 plus?

I live in Southern Alberta and could use about 4000 liters. Is it hard to bring it across the border yourself, and can you do it now or do you have to wait until April?

Or you could pay an extra 20 cents a litre for a domestic low end glyphosate and keep some money in the community. Something to think about next time you need to drive 40 miles to get groeceries. Looking at my costs; fertilizer, fuel, and junk freight rates are what killing me not 10 cents an acre for my spring burn off. I'll agree that a message needs to be sent to these chem companies and I think it's been heard, but lets pick some battles now that will show us some real returns. On that note I just got back from Montana where regular gasoline (no doubt from Alberta) worked out to be about 62 cents per litre by the time the exchange rate was accounted for. That my friends is a real problem, especialy if we are going to be competing directly with american producers in the near future. Just some food for thought.

Buying local does not necessarily help the community more. The portion that stays in the community when you buy from your dealer is the margin he gets for the sale. The savings you make is all yours to spend as you see fit. If your bottom line is better you have more dollars to spend. The driving down in price of glyphosate has generated substantial revenues in everyones communities.
