Hello Dave & All,
Thanks Dave. I have learned something today. I have never heard the word 
rangemaster used in Missouri and have never been told 24D was available 
without emergency use. All restricted use  chemicals are available under 
emergency use permits.

As with most problem chemicals the chemical companies figure a way to get 
the chemicals back in use.

Actually Dave when 24D is used roundup might not be. Farmers at the 
restaurant gab sessions usually come down on what they call "tree huggers" 
for loss of the best herbicide to ever be invented( 24D). I noticed about a 
decade ago those farmers are now quiet around me and rarely speak of 24D. 
Hmmm.

Left up to the applicator in small town America straight 24D might be being 
used at times.
