Glyphosate and feed

[the big wheel]

Affects animals. But don't worry must not affect humans. Whew thank God.

[ColevilleH2S]

Oh ya, fer sure, fer sure. The North American animal industry collapsed after the introduction of Glyphosate. And now people die at the tragically young age of 84. The world's gone to hell in a Capitalist Multi-national Monsanto hand basket Martha!!!! -eyes roll-

Exactly cole why don't you and I have a glass of glyphos every morning we ll live until 94 for sure according to that logic. Hahahaha holy crap you don't even realize it's global warming that's increased life span. Poor farmers aren't freezing to death over winter anymore.
Geez.and maybe the introduction of power has helped. Hahaha

What you gonna have a the 540 or old 360 rate ?? Lol.

Wow! With that logic why don't you swallow an entire bottle of cold medication next time you have a cold! If a couple tablets are safe, why not the entire bottle??

Correlation or causation?

Scary stuff.

Are his conclusions solid unless they have been replicated? How many uncontrolled variables can you find in his "research"? There are many.

I'm not a roundup ready fan or even a fan of preharvest but before one puts out such strong statements, he had better do his homework or he will get crucified and what value he has contributed will be completely dismissed because of premature conclusions.

For the record, I don't grow any roundup ready, nor will I feed forages/crops burned off with glyphosate.

[the big wheel]

cold tablets really don't cure anything they are a form of getting stoned. People can see that direct effect of getting too stoned you could die. There is a warning on the label. Is there a warning on glyphosate?
Do they really know what it does continually used? Do we know which products it's in is it on labels?
There is a warning not to spray crops too late in the season why is that? Some on here admitted spraying and harvesting right after? Is that good? Is it
Illegal?

Gives a whole new meaning to having that gut feeling that something is just wrong.

Huts have quit preharvest herb of anything going to feed animals. Night and day fewer issues according to the dairy boss.

That's not a citation, that's an article about a vet being paid handsomely, owner of, and in total conflict by the organic industry promoting themselves. The Western Producer once again doing the proper journalistic background and conflict checks...... Not! They got suckered.

Which is why i asked for a citation of glyphosate damage to cattle.

[sk_wheatking]

I don't like pre harvest glyphosate application. I'm actually surprised it's not banned. Glyphosate is an important tool in agriculture. Without it there would be serious issues with soil erosion from tillage. I just think that maybe it should be stopped being used as a desicant. I have done it myself though so who am I to judge.

[furrowtickler]

Those cattle probably died from grain overload ?? Something don't seem right.
Guys have been using RR corn all over here for many years , grazing and silage .
The only issues ever are from grain overload from not properly managing ripe mature corn , or from moulds from last years very wet cool fall .
I know guys that have used RR corn for grazing and or silage for over 10 years , never an issue - ever . In fact their cattle weights are up and herd health better than ever.
Something seems odd with the WP article , but who knows the real story ?
Agree that too much of anything is not good , same with glyphosate, but that last application was probably way back in mid July at most likely 1/2 lt / ac .

Good points Tweety.

The Western Producer should be able to explain their fact checking if subscribers were to inquire I hope?
