August 17 Strychnine Update from Agromax

Hi All,

This is another update on production and distribution of 2% Liquid Strychnine Concentrate. We are still experiencing many difficulties to get shipments of raw material out of India currently. We have been trying diligently for a number of weeks but challenges that exist in that country have made things very difficult. They are experiencing many hardships that were caused by the Middle East war. Souring energy prices have limited the number of shipments leaving their country as well as extreme weather situations. Once we have a shipment confirmed we will update everyone on the timing of the distribution to all. Due to this delay, it appears like the window for application that ends on September 1st will not be met.

Sorry for the bad news but we are doing everything we can try and get a shipment to us.

We will now try and get raw material in for later this year and be ready for shipments during the winter months for locations that have storage facilities. We will be ready for the spring season in Feb-April. This is the best we can offer at this time.

Thank you,

Custom Work

The municipal crew WILL NOT demolish buildings or change the natural course of water flow such as fill in water runs.

Private laneways within the municipality can receive two gradings and one mow for free each year as requested whenever the operator is in the area. Contact the office or foreman to request either of these services each year.
