About 5 years ago I learned something I never knew about glyphosate use, despite having grown up on a farm.
We live in a fairly heavy wheat producing area. I was driving past two nearly identical wheat fields in early September, and I was wondering why one was still green and the other one was completely golden brown and beginning to dry.
It wasn’t until I hopped online and started to research why, that I learned about the common practice of using glyphosate late season to intentionally kill and desiccate the plants to ensure harvest prior to the wet weather in the fall. One farmer had done it, the other had not.
I kept an eye on those fields and the untreated field was harvested a month later than the desiccated one, but still successfully.
Glyphosate, I’ve since learned, regularly shows up in tested bread and cereals. Imagine, intentionally putting a known carcinogen on the world’s food crops. Stunning.
#Glyphosate is terrible.

The farm across from me in KY harvested soy beans the other day. It looked like a desert. Dust everywhere. All by design.
Plant agriculture = complete decimation of all land and wildlife, for clumps of fiber and sugar that aren't healthy for humans.
Regenerative agriculture = soil regeneration, working with nature, giving animals happy & healthy lives, and producing the most nutrient-rich foods on the planet.

This is why I only buy organic grain products.
Glyphosate is in the US rain. Sorry to say
And don’t even get me started on Fukushima. Has anyone here ever looked at the spawning route of Pacific Salmon, read the studies from UBC and U of C about traces of radionucleides in cow’s milk in western Canada months after the Daiichi meltdown, or the Canadian Radiological Monitoring Network’s answer to monitoring in the year following the disaster by shutting down monitoring stations across Canada for almost the entirety of 2011? I didn’t grow a garden that year. I didn’t even let a drop of rain hit the little garden we had till the following Spring.
We freedom loving humans are thriving despite all of it. Even with a slight glow in the dark lol.
Desiccation is necessary to harvest crops in order to avoid wet/snowy seasons. Farmers will lose their entire crop if it stays to wet or freezes. The crop needs to be killed/dried for storage and for better combining. 90% of the crop you see never goes to a table, it goes to animal feed or in the case of corn, ethanol production.
Millennial farmer or Larson farms on YouTube dispel alot of questions around agriculture and farming. Great resources and entertainment.
