I had a 7 tonne load of cow muck / bedding delivered by a farmer friend. I decided against using it on my veg areas after learning about aminopyralid. It is still in a big heap waiting for me to spread it on a grazing area instead of the veg areas.
I did ask my friend about aminopyralid in any of his farm chemicals he uses. He told me the names of the two chemicals he uses. I found the technical details of these on the respective web sites and tried to determine if they contained aminopyralid. The information is there but in a very complicated format that requires you to have a phd in chemistry to understand. I couldn’t make sense of it all and just assumed there was a chance it does contain aminopyralid. I think the manufacturers hide the “bad news” within overly complicated documents so that most people don’t understand it but they have complied with their legal obligations.
