It's done here all the time.  The thing that has me worried about this practice is, you can't use wheat that was sprayed with Roundup preharvest for seed because it destroys the germination.   Now if it's killing the germ, that tells me it's changing something in the kernel, and I'm not sure I want to eat that.  

I'm not anti GMO, but this is one practice that I don't approve of.

I've never heard of any issues with the germ on desiccated wheat as long as it was physiologically mature when sprayed.
