WTB Lasso herbicide

Had County Committee this AM -- the two irrigated producers both use some Micro-Tech and are unaware of any issues regarding availability. But, haven't had recent purchase so if there's something new since early spring don't know of that.

But, was available as recently as this spring, anyway, is what I found out.

I hope that worked out for you. If not, I talked to Monsanto and we now have a list of every distributor that has bought packaged Intrro from them since July 2013.

In addition to the two in S.C., the one in IL, and the one in NJ we talked about, these are the other CPS dealers who bought the packaged product::

CPS Hanson, ID -- 208 - 423 - 5511

CPS Tipton, IN -- 765 - 675 - 3310

CPS Fremont, NE -- 402 - 727 - 5550

Non-CPS dealers who have bought it since July 2013:

Landview -- Murtaugh, ID -- 208 - 432 - 5292

Simplot -- Holland, TX -- 254 - 657 - 2399

Helena -- Pasco, WA -- 509 - 544 - 0436

There are some bulk dealers who bought it, but if you want only 10 -

15 gal., they aren't good choices.

Monsanto stopped selling their alachlor-based herbicides earlier this year, because of new testing requirements from EPA. They aren't planning to make any more of it. They plan to take it off their web page in early September, but they left it on for now because there is some stock left at dealers.

Ed, THANKS so much for your help. This would not have happened without you.

A really nice lady at CPS SC has some on the way.

I even got a cheap thrill out of the deal - A buck naked lady showed up in my shop - I almost fell into the lathe.

Milady was just out of the shower when the call came back and they needed the info off my restricted pesticide handler licence. She didn't even grab her nighty.

P.S. Somebody could make $ buying up the remaining inventory and selling next year - I bet that's what the NJ location with 900 gallon is doing.

Thanks for helping. looks like I'm good to go. Tell your friends they won't get any next year.

P.S. Hope the FSA office in your county is better than ours. Ours used to be great till everybody retired all at once. I can't STAND to go in there now.

My pleasure, Karl. It gave me a chance to charm some really sweet young ladies on the phone. They really went out of their way to find out what I wanted to know. d8-)

Mysteries like that just knaw at me. Once I get started, I don't want to let go until I get the answers.

FSA is in throes of change all over -- we've been _extremely_ lucky here w/ our CED to be able to keep our tech's shielded from the worst of the edicts from above (state and federal). It's not likely to last much longer, however, I'm afraid.

We have additional ground in NM and the CED for Harding County is in charge of both Colfax and Harding counties which are both sizable in area albeit only Colfax (Raton) has any significant population. There's nobody in Harding County office regularly anymore, she drives down one day a week. That's almost exclusively cow herd ranching operations so it's not like intensive crop program levels of support needed but still is a hassle for local producers...

Glad you found what you needed for the moment, anyways...guess it's time for the crop consultants to earn their keep in future direction recommendations.
