Roundup time

Roundup glyphosate is also used to dry up peas to get them ready to combine.

Maybe the cows can filter it out …

The amount of 1000L chemical totes around these parts is stunning - but we are talking about a wide variety of crops …

Without a doubt, do not drink Roundup. I just applied some to my gravel driveway.

Most consumer Roundup is no longer glyphosate.

Good point.

Good info. Roundup really expanded their product line. Here is the real stuff purchased in Canada last year. It appears Roundup is getting out of consumer level Glyphosate due to the bad press, but it may just be a matter of time before the evil sounding replacement chemicals get targeted.

Don't get Imazapic and Ozempic confused. However, you will reduce your weight with either one.

It has been well over a decade since I bought Roundup, but when I did it was the generic stuff and I read the label to be sure it was 41% glyphosate.

The one shown above is a residential concentrate. I think it will say to mix it 4:1 with water. The Ag concentrate versions get mixed 30-50:1 with water. So a 1000L tote full of Ag concentrate is quite a bit! It could spray 500-1500 acres depending on what they are trying to kill.

Science is not on the OP's side. There are no "Real" scientific articles that agree with the OP's opinion. But that's OK. Don't depend on a forum to gain informatio.

Of course your opinion is better.

But ignore existing studies at your own peril

No wonder our food supply is a major contributor to serious illness. The wheat harvest is underway. Last friday, a large wheat field near me was green. Yesterday it was completely brown. Tire tracks were present in the fields. A farmer once confirmed they spray the wheat with roundup in mid June to speed up the begining of harvest so they can get a planting of soybeans in that field after the wheat is harvested. Think about that the next time you eat something containing wheat.

I'm curious to know where you're located. I grew up in High Plains winter wheat country, and I don't think the farmers there sprayed wheat before harvest. The climate is dry enough that the fields naturally got that "amber waves of grain" look by early to mid-July.

Apparently used as a pre-harvest treatment to control the speed to dry up. There’s no commercial wheat variety that resists glyphosate.

Keep your Roundup. (fools) I will pass.
