Now Its the Beer

[checking]

I've always had a problem with the choice of measurement media uses when defining spills, as in the oil industry. Media tends to list them in terms of liters of product. It catches the imagination as most people only look at the large first number, not the measure.

Now, instead of spills, we get a media report on swills of 5 to 50 parts per billion. Damn. that has got to be a rounding error in a billion until you look, and it's recorded out in the decimal range. If media really wants to get the public hyper concerned over swills, I'm astounded that the measure wasn't in parts per trillion out to the at least the second decimal.

Was the measurement I posted right? Isn't that a millionth of a gram in a liter?

Doesn't that put it in perspective?

Source was US PRIG.
Now let's see their test in ppb, of all metals in the beer and all tap water.
Perspective. A lost concept.

Thought glyfos killed the germ?
How could it make malt.

Again why not ban preharvest glyphosate? If it's what the market wants, give it to them. You are still using it for burn off and post harvest and the cracks in your driveway and all the rest. Mind you people like this austranada guy will never be satisfied. Another downside would be less glyphosate use would no doubt lead to some bullshit price increase to keep the profits up. Remember they can do that, every business can do that er uh ahhh I mean everyone except the primary producer of agriculture products.

Try this one ,540 grams of active chemical/liter .right ?, 1/2 liter /acre,devided by 44500 sq ft/ acre diveded by 10 weeds /sq ft equals .000606/weed and that kills them dead.

Ok, I think that's 6060 times as much active ingredient compared to whats in the whole liter in my calculation, pour the whole liter on that weed and....nothing!

It was not me. I never sprayed it and I never got malted either
