It’s funny when some are extremely adamant about the proof of scientific studies only when it fits their agenda and won’t acknowledge scientific studies that prove like the post above . It’s called being hypocrisy.

trouble is that too many farmers are spraying gly too early and using it to kill the crop not weeds only. Ive been told that from millers that used at correct staging gly is not a problem. Let the crop rippen a little guys

Glyphosate IS NOT a desiccant. It is not registered for desiccation. It is a herbicide, period. Anyone using it to help ripen green patches in a field is misusing glyphosate. Unless the seeds are firm in the head, it a glyphosate residue will be found in the crop. And I guarantee, the seeds in those green plants in patches, or low lying areas are not at 30% moisture which is where glyphosate is no longer translocated into the seed. So if you are using it to even up the field, or speed up harvest, you are part of the problem and contributing to the future loss of glyphosate.

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.

It is too soon to speculate. Lets wait and see what the promised report actually says.

But knowing that many farmers are spraying glyphosate heavily just before harvest on all their crops and that many of those applications are too early, there is s good chance the residues will be too high.

That is likely why some retail ready products are testing way above the MRLs.

There are many green patches in this years crops due to uneven germination that are way later than the majority of the crop. Farmers can wait and wait or swath. But applying glyphosate will not fix this level of uneveness in many cases.

This issue is not going away and farmers should be more careful or they will be forced to stop using preharvest glyphosate.

And the overuse of roundup as occurred in the usa midwest will lead to more resistant weeds in the prairies making it useless in the future.

Exactly why some of us have stopped engaging, a complete waste of time, no standard is high enough if it doesn't support the agenda.

So if glyphosate residue isnt a problem if applied at the proper time of plant maturity, why is it not registered as a desicant. Is it because it doesn't work very well? Was it not worth the trouble for Monsanto to get it registered for desication? Just saying. In my area virtually all wheat is sprayed? So why is it used? Are weeds in crop that big of a problem when staight combining? Is it because the stubble is nice to seed into the next spring?

It is because the neighbors use it, and many think it is necessary in order to farm. It isn’t. You ain’t a farmer around here If you don’t do pre harvest.

If glyphosate residue isn't a problem why isn't everybody spraying their seed crops?
