You can't pull the wool over the eyes of today's informed consumer. That image from 2014 is representative of modern ag more and more. The annual survey in Iowa is very revealing when they asked about herbicide resistant weeds. 73% now use tillage because glyphosate is failing. Sure 30+ years ago it enabled no till or min till reducing erosion from conventionally farmed land which was tilled multiple times per year. Looks like the chemical experiment has run its course.

Yes, you don't get to feed 8 billion people by farming with technology from the 1940s. Agricultural innovation, such as glyphosate has saved more lives than any Greenpeace campaign ever has.

Fun fact the anti-glyphosaters won't tell you: New herbicide resistant weeds were developing faster before glyphosate resistant crops were introduced, not after

Do those houses look 10 years old to you?

My brother lived in Lethbridge in the 80's.
He dreaded the windy stretches in the spring as the sky would be black for days.

Special Areas in Alberta basically blew down to the hard pan in the 30's. 2.5 million acres.

Every field used to have an overgrown blow ridge in the fence line, even up here in the swamp.

Many now days have never experienced it.

Some forget.

We almost lost a quarter in the early eighties, took the shovels off for good after that .took years and alfalfa to get that quarter back right

You were here in the 80’s when you worked for FCC, you woulda saw it too . Eighties were bad , that what started zero till here
if we woulda been tilling this year with 3.5” rain , most wouldn’t have got harvested
