We want to provide our ratepayers with an update on the availability of 2% Liquid Strychnine Concentrate.
Our supplier has advised that ongoing difficulties getting the raw material out of India are causing significant delays. Rising energy costs, extreme weather, and other challenges in the region have limited the number of shipments leaving the country.
At this time, it appears the September 1st application window will not be met.
There is currently only one supplier of the strychnine raw material, and the current supply situation has affected availability across the program. We are continuing to work with our supplier and will provide updates as soon as we have confirmed information on incoming shipments.
The supplier is now working to secure raw material for later this year, with the goal of having product available during the winter months for locations with storage facilities and being prepared for the spring application period of March 1 – June 15.
We recognize the uncertainty this creates for ratepayers and appreciate everyone’s patience as the supply situation works its way through the system.
We will share further information as it becomes available.
