There is no shortage of either formulationI got the impression from the inspector that the farmers possibly were sold the ester, maybe not aware it was an ester and different from what they had been using, because of a possible shortage of the regular stuff.
Idk.
On the bright side, business will be booming for all the local nurserymen should everything die off as a result of the farmers spraying.
Says you.
Not what the inspector said.
Do you ever wonder why that is REALLY occurring? I bet not
Right you are.
They'd probably boo me off the stage and pelt me with hotdogs.
Well... that wouldn't be very Kosher.
Says WHAT I BUY. You calling me a liar? Are my receipts from less than 24 hours ago fake? Is the inventory fake? Be careful in the words you choose
I'm wondering
you're talking about.Your commentI'm wondering
You be careful, buck-o.
You calling an official inspector of the Department of Agriculture a liar?
Are you a soybean farmer in middle Tennessee?
What is in short supply one place may be abundantly available in others.
I never ran out of toilet paper while you're likely using corn cobs due to a shortage.
All besides the point - trees in the area have been damaged allegedly from the use of 2-4-D ester herbicide.
No shortage of that.
You mean why there are empty farmhouses in the area?
Not going down that sidetrack... although I know exactly why.
The point I was making is that the cropland grows to the detriment of small communities.
Really. Keep up with farming news much?

There is a lot of speculation about a herbicide shortage for the 2022 growing season, which will impact weed management decisions starting with fall applications. The two main active ingredients that we’re hearing about right now are glyphosate (Roundup, others) and glufosinate (Liberty, others), both associated with an increase in cost. There will likely be limited supplies of other pesticide active ingredients as well, but in the short term, a shortage of these two active ingredients poses some major challenges for corn and soybean production. The purpose of this article is to discuss ways to minimize the impact of herbicide shortage on corn and soybean production in the Midwest. As you search for alternatives to these two herbicides you may have already determined that weed control guides produced by University Extension and Industry will become your most important tool for planning your herbicide purchases for many years to come.

Keep up with current events much?
First, what is causing the shortage? There are several different factors which are impacting this issue. In no particular order, the reasons for the herbicide shortage include a decline in number of laborers to unload tanker ships at gulf ports, lack of truck transportation from the ports to get the ingredients to U.S. formulation plants or formulated products to the retailers, reduced supplies of some of the inert ingredients of the formulation, shortages of materials to make containers and packaging, and Hurricane Ida that damaged a glyphosate production plant in Luling, LA (https://www.agweb.com/news/business...-idles-largest-glyphosate-production-plant-us).
Well Lets start here.You be careful, buck-o.

No shortage of that.
1)My name is Bill not "Buck-o" so there is no need to use that term . I do not know what your name is so I cannot address you by that. It should be fairly easy to know my correct name
2) As for me using "corn cobs" and you using toliet paper although it is none of my business nor do I care what you wipe your regions with, a person referring to themself as a "tree hugger" might consider using fallen leaves from the trees they hug. As for me using corn cobs well I have used them for a lot but not that.
3) As for a shortage of Amines YOU are the one who spouted off with your comment indicating I was a liar. I frankly do not care what someone "told" you as I rely I what I see with MY OWN EYES not what some third party tells me.
4) As for if I am a soybean farmer in middle Tennessee what makes you think I am not? Is that something you just know for a fact?
In many instances I have agreed with your posts but you are not going to gain a lot of respect by bashing folks and spouting off emotions.
I agree small communities are suffering but not because of farming increasing. So you are telling me there is MORE acres of land in current cultivation ( growing an agricultural crop) than there has been in the past? What time period? What state and county are you making reference to? I would really like to know.
2. OFF-TARGET DICAMBA MOVEMENT
“As much as I wish it weren't the case, unfortunately the issues with off-target movement of dicamba have not ended and each season we have continued to see dicamba move off-target and injure neighboring soybean fields and other sensitive plant species,” Bradley says.Mizzou research shows there is quite a bit of secondary movement that occurs after the sprayer has left the field, and it is this secondary movement that is outside of the applicator's control.
For growers who intend to plant XtendFlex soybean and spray one of the approved dicamba products this season, pay close attention to the label requirements and environmental conditions expected prior to and after the application has been made. If conditions are not optimum for a dicamba application, post-emergence applications of glufosinate are labeled for use in XtendFlex soybean."

I see you have posted some things you read someplace. Any actual REAL LIFE experience? Any answers/comments I posted?
When was this published? Oh yes in March based on 2021. Today is May 21, 2022
