Enviromentalists hate safe and effective weed killers.
[[A newly affixed sticker warned there were substances in the vehicle thought to cause cancer.]]
That’s only if you ingest your truck
Well, I just splashed bunch of it on myself when I mishandled a new sprayer under pressure the other day... so I guess I am doomed.
But happily the dadburned weeds are going to die first. I am fed up with the losing battle of trying to pull or weedwack invasive weeds in a state with a year round rowing season, and too old to do it anyway.
I guess it never occurred to these morons that a person who uses this stuff a lot as part of their profession also uses scores of other chemicals as we, and doubtless has much more UV exposure from the sun than average, and may be really into say, weed or Corona. How do they now the extra cases of cancer aren’t from any of the other hundreds of substances they have used or consumed, or some combination thereof?
Wouldn’t Monsanto employees have a similarly higher rate of non-Hodgkin lymphoma?
In the Corn Belt, 1,000 acres of soybeans or corn is considered a part-time job.
The State of California isn’t smart enough to ‘know’ anything. The entire legislature probably has an aggregate IQ of 68.
1-1-1 Trichloroethane worked for me.
Yeah, those fellas took Earl Butz’s comment to “Go Big or Get out” seriously.
Too bad these same farms have to deal with droughts, wind and cold us Tennessee boys only see once in a decade or so.
Roundup is a target because it is manufactured by Monsanto, which has been thoroughly demonized for its leadership in developing genetically modified crops. Roundup is the agronomic complement to Roundup ready GMO's. Attacks on Roundup are thus seen by the luddite left as an indirect attack on GMO's. And since the EU countries don't want to compete against U.S. production agriculture, the Europeans prostitute the science to create non-tariff trade barriers. Junk science is highly politicized because it provides cover for dishonest agendas.
Foes a number on poison oak and ivy. Killed my holly bush though
Logic is known to the state of California to cause cancer.
>Nothing but lies. Been using it for decades with no negative results.
I’ve been using it for decades. it’s akin to saying eating fast food on a regular basis is bad for your health. Total BS.
You won’t need to use it if you lime your soil and get the PH down below 6. Most weeds thrive in high alkaline soil and if it rains a lot, you will need to lime often.
Why oh why do we not have a like button?
Our great grandfather used to take his steam tractor and combine out to the Great Plains when their wheat harvest came in. His crew would work at night if there was a full moon and he didn’t come home til his contracts were filled. about six weeks, more or less. Got some photos I’d share if I knew how to get them uploaded.
Yes, steam engines. Made real good money(This was in the teens...1900s)
Thanks!
2% of the population get non-Hodgken Lymphoma? I must run with a really lucky crowd since I have only known one person who had it.
I’ve used glyphosate for ages. So far, so good.
The chick should try using elbow grease on miles of fence line before she dismisses the need for a good general herbicide.
2%? Not hardly!
