In our discussions with farmers over the last month and a half or so, since Christmas, it's been clear that access to ClearOut 41 Plus, which is the only product now approved under GROU, is something they like. It is now available, and farmers can have access, as we said, because it's at least equivalent, until the end of June. They can order now, buy now, and bring in now what they need for this full growing season. That isn't an issue.
From the standing committee's recommendation, it wasn't clear, and it was maybe suggested that you wait at least two years before you move forward on GROU and on the other recommendations. I think it's clear that that puts some farmers at a real disadvantage. If you're not one of the 3,000, if you're one of the over 85,000 other farmers, you probably have more interest in the other recommendations than in the own-use import program. But we have to recognize that some farmers have financially benefited from ClearOut 41 Plus.
So in our discussions what's been clear is that they're interested in that continued access, those who have used it. But they also want to move ahead. They want a lot of the uncertainties eliminated. What we can tell them about the products under GROU is that there is definitely a wider use pattern, so more farmers will benefit. What the dollar amount will be, we can't tell them.
They were interested in knowing specific products. But we can't do that as long as the own-use import program is working, because there's nothing that would then prohibit some farm group from saying that we told them these products are equivalent and that they can now do it outside of the registrants' cooperation. We don't have any way of protecting the registrants from that.
