Many claims on here on how we farmers feed the world. Just a reminder that we are producing food not industrial commodities. I see lots of abuse and over use of Roundup.

agreed, but dumping roundup on your oatmeal ?? pretty powerful statement . pretty sure you will be "quoted" on that foolish statement. remember it is just a war of words , and none of it has to be true or factual , just dramatic like yours was ? some things are better left unsaid.

It just comes down to pay us more and everyone will follow the rules and make money so there is room to breathe in this business. Guys get the “**** it” attitude because no one else gives a shit about the guy growing the product that actually makes this whole damn economy spin. Sad. We give more of a shit about an athlete or movie star than the people that help feed people. I by no means think spraying a chemical at the wrong time is good anytime but reason is the producer looks at the calendar and says this has to get done or the alternative could be next spring. I don’t think the grain buyer could give 2 shits if the farmer had it sit out over winter. They would spin it and say the guy was a poor manager. Pay the guys! Simple

It would be best if everyone followed the spray rules but the big problem will be once consumer's read the article then go to the grocery store and avoid all the oat products then demand for oats drop right off and so does the price.

It won't matter if the article is accurate or not or if glyf is safe or not you put oats and cancer in the same sentence in a news story and consumers will avoid it like the plague.

Health Canada has yet to release a study on glyphosate residues in major cereals. It was supposed to be released late in 2017 or early in 2018. I expect the news is bad that is why we haven't seen it yet.

Apparently it did not come up with the predetermined conclusion so going to need time to doctor the data. If there was a problem the news would have been rushed out the door. Problem was the science suggested there was not a problem.

Health Canada did a Re-evaluation study on glyphosate and released it April of 2017. This may not be the one you are referring to but the link is below. I'm not weighing in one way or another just putting it out there for people to read.

The overall finding from the re-examination of glyphosate is highlighted as follows:

-Glyphosate is not genotoxic and is unlikely to pose a human cancer risk.
-Dietary (food and drinking water) exposure associated with the use of glyphosate is not expected to pose a risk of concern to human health.
-Occupational and residential risks associated with the use of glyphosate are not of concern, provided that updated label instructions are followed.
-The environmental assessment concluded that spray buffer zones are necessary to mitigate potential risks to non-target species (for example, vegetation near treated areas, aquatic invertebrates and fish) from spray drift.
-When used according to revised label directions, glyphosate products are not expected to pose risks of concern to the environment.
-All registered glyphosate uses have value for weed control in agriculture and non-agricultural land management.
