    Typical of most conversations on AV, the thread has gone from discussing the actual issue (it is milling quality, not about food safety) to someone's personal agenda attacking each other... If you want to talk about how safe glyphosate is on your grain and food, start a new thread... oh wait, SF3 actually started this thread with misinformation because he failed to read the whole email...

      This is an issue about spraying glyphoste on oats which may leave a fractionated groat, hence lower milling yeild. Obviously it is happening enough that the end users, the people who write the cheque to the farmer for milling oats, have made their position clear. It has nothing to do with spreading fear. This is an end user relaying information to its customers, the farmers.
      The farmers seem to be defensive and want to blame consumers and call them freaks..... Nice.

      It is a free country farmers can continue to pre harvest glyphosate.spray oats but they just cannot sell to grain millers .

        See you think its a needed app, because that's what you've been told by the suppliers. It wasn't needed 15 years ago before the price of roundup dropped... and still isnt needed by organic producers growing the same crops in the same areas.

          This is listed as a milling issue with this mill only. So far, No other mill has reported issues or concerns.

            Do the loudest on here really want to lose glyphosate completely? If so how ignorant.
            I remember 3x the diesel burnt and the dust. Wearing out a tractor completely.
