    well there is a reason you don’t understand. If you actually farmed here you might have a grasp . It is you that has no idea .
    most only use Gly when necessary

      What issue are you referring to?
      Residue in food?
      Weed resistance?
      Chelation of essential minerals?
      User safety?
      Non Hodgkin's lymphoma?
      Childhood cancers?
      Gut microbiome disruption?
      Soil biology compromise?
      Crop disease catalyst?
      Shall I go on?
      It's pretty much a free for all farming conventionally with toxic chemistry.

        What reason do you assume it is that I don't understand whatever your deflecting to? I did farm in canada. I was one of the first guys running around like a headless chicken spraying preharvest on my own farms and as a contractor in the early 90s.
        Be specific about your opinion on what I have no idea about.

        Only use it when necessary?
        Ok that's fine then. After all the govt will compensate you for getting sick right?

          Out of the thousands of farmers I know over the years myself and through others that have directly dealt with and handled round up for decades , I know of absolutely no one ever getting sick from it , even remotely. This is concentrated glyphosate, not diluted stuff from Walmart.
          No doubt you’re on some crusade, just don’t distort reality.
          best of luck on your crusade

            Not on a crusade! Who's distorting reality? You are. Thousands of farmers? So at least 2 thousand. Not credible at all.
            Maybe you should testify in the class action lawsuits as an exprt witness. You might overturn the guilty verdicts and Bayer could get their 20 billion back.
            Reality is many farmers still fall for the marketing of its safety, just like the drug scam of the past 3 years.

                There are worse chemicals, just not as broadly used. Where do you draw the line?

                  my dad who just passed at 95 sprayed with an open Deere model M and used leather gloves no mask etc. and the chemical back then wasn't As mild as round up today. He lived a full life.

                  Funny no real farmers say things like your posting.
