Suppliers have contracted for shipments already or hold inventory of the chemical in their warehouses.
Farmers have purchased the chemistry and have some in their supplies.
When they ban a chemistry they normally do a phase out to allow them to use existing inventory and not lose money.
If they didn’t give them time to use the inventory, the suppliers and farmers could sue the government for losses incurred due to regulation changes. The government would likely lose the lawsuits and have to pay millions.
“To be phased out over the next two years” Why not just pull the fucking plug if it’s so blatantly lethal. Boils my blood….
It’s always money…

This could be in addition to the judicial just reversing the regulation to top it off.
