As Bayer Warns of More Glyphosate Shortages, Here's How Severe the Situation Could Be this Spring
AGWEB ^ | 2/15/22 | Tyne Morgan

Glyphosate was already in short supply heading into the 2022 planting season, but another black swan event is putting an even tighter squeeze on supplies.

I bought 2 1/2 gallons of a 50% Glyphosate in September for $129. The same item is now $195. I assume a farmer buying 1000 gallons will see the same increases.

43% 2.5 Gal is $149 at the local Rural King, so I guess it depends on where you live.

Generic glyphosate is a lot cheaper. I paid a little over $900.00 for a 30 gallon drum of 41%. Bayer exiting the market ain’t gonna help prices even for generics, though.

All those folks who don’t like Killex are about to learn just how useful it is.

Pity we all have to pay.

Gee whiz people. Get your hoe out to do the weeding.

And...if she don’t want to do it...find another hoe.

Oops, got my wires crossed there: Roundup, not Killex, which is 2-4D

State forestry guy told me I needed 50% to deal with this cursed Bush Honeysuckle, another pestilence from China. It works. What does the 50% cost at RK?

I’ve been trying to find Bayer’s excellent Spring lawn treatment. It’s not to be found anywhere. Glad I don’t need Bayer’s products for my livelihood.

Most larger landscape companies buy it in 30-40 gal barrels depending on brand.

A hoe won’t do a thing against invasive Sedalia. Neither will a ho.

a gallon of white vinegar, about 1/4 cup liquid dish soap, and a cup of epsom salts...spray on weeds...kills them...

I realize for large farms that probably won't work but for hobby farms and back yards it works perfectly.
