Glyphosate price reduction?

The last 2 years have been a wild ride in the glyphosate business, making it tough for farmers to "manage through" when it comes to pricing and managing crop protection products, and the glyphosate market has been one of the bellwethers of that volatility, Stith explains. That's why Monsanto is cutting Roundup prices by up to 50%, he says.

I heard something locally about cheaper Glyphosate available but it was one of those "I'll believe it.." So driving by the local Co-op the sign says "Glyphosate - $4.40/L" Wow.
Has anyone else seen this?

I think the patents are finally coming off on glyphosate and with all of the new generic manufacturers starting to sell their products, Monsanto has finally had to reduce their price to stay competitive. Roundup has been a very important tool for weed control...price reductions are great but I am more concerned about the price of grain...

The patents came off of R-up many years ago (1995 or 1996?) The patents were for 20 or 25 years - US and Can. I would wonder if the volume is high enough now, China has figured out what to sell here, the CDN gov't is allowing more herbicides in?
The patent came off prior to Vantage (Dow?) and Credit (Nufarm) coming to the marketplace. Dad recalls buying R-up when it first came out for $18 per litre.

There are a pile of generic glyphos products coming into the market currently. The high prices of late drove the Chinese to overdevelop the infrastructure needed to manufacture these products. The market is flooded, maybe with unknown quality of products. I'm nervous using these products because you just don't know what liability you may be attaching yourself too. For now, Im happy to ride the price wave down and stay with products of known origin. D

Food for Thought: From arts to agriculture, James Snyder saw big picture

Many of you may have read that James Snyder passed away suddenly in New Zealand, his second home. You may have no idea who he was, other than his love and involvement with local arts and culture. He truly enjoyed working with so many people who made Chatham-Kent a better place to live. I knew James for his love for the land and for his impact in the agriculture sector, not just here in Chatham-Kent, but across Ontario and Canada and in many parts of the world. In past columns, I’ve discussed people who have helped guide me, not only as a person, but also in my agriculture career. James Snyder was one of them. James was very proud of his British heritage. During my last visit, he took me through his downtown Chatham apartment, showing me every square foot — each of which had something of value to James. I met James when I started working for the Municipality of Chatham-Kent. I was working with Ron Anderson, our agriculture specialist, with whom James worked closely trying to expand
