I am not sure how to respond to such misinformation. So she throws out all scientific studies that don’t support her idea and all farmers are just lazy and cheap when we use glyphosate. Personally I have never used glyphosate as a harvest aid on wheat and it is not a common practice in my area. Some glyphosate was used in my area this last harvest because of a delayed harvest due to rain and the weeds were taking over some fields. There were a few fields of wheat that did not get harvested because of the weed pressure and poor yields. Chemicals aren’t cheap and the use of any chemical on any crop comes with a great deal of research and cost analysis. We don’t make these applications just because we have a sprayer in the shed. |
