It's not going to do anyone any harm working it straight after is it , just he won't get full effect will he and he won't help with roundup resistance will it ,so a bit of a stupid thing to do ,I don't plough so it don't apply to me but if I was I would leave it two weeks minimum for things like docks
My guess is that historically there has been less access to refined and processed carbohydrates & much less reliance on gluten based foods therefore gluten intolerance was less of an issue compared to today. For those that did suffer, the lack of medical understanding of the issue means that we only know about people who were sickly and unable to thrive... or were deemed to be prone to "the vapours" etc.
The stomach is the most important organ in the body. Coeliac disease, Crohn's, IBS, Gluten, lactose Intolerance etc are symptoms of poor gut biota. I would look towards the increase in incidence of Caesarean sections more than any correlated causation of the wider use of glyphosate. Further to that, a high percentage of C-Section patients, do not breastfeed. Avoidance of the birth canal & bacterial fluids, coupled with no innoculation from the tit, result in a high likelihood of gastrointestinal problems from day one.
Won’t be banned until Monsanto have a patent on a super safe better working alternative that’s vastly overpriced. Then new evidence will be released from them confirming that it’s no longer safe to use. Not their fault either it’s due to to some chemical reaction with pollutants in the air coming from farm animals.
CRD have banned active ingredients without alternatives in the past. They have no interest in what might be coming to market in the future, only removing what they don’t like.
I remember a few years ago seeing a neighbour spraying his wheat in the morning, then combining the same field in the afternoon!
…suppose it could have been water that he was spraying!
I wonder what effect a small trace of chemicals in our foods has on gut biota.
Anything not “natural” is going to affect the biota. Glyphosate is one of them but so are the other additives in the food we eat.
What % of newborn babies are there not getting breast milk?
You appear to be living in a different world to me! The 'feckwits' have been winning the battle for the last 20 odd years or more.
The point of using it before the combine is so that the rubbish is desiccated and easily threshed to be blown out of the back of the combine rather than gunning everything up with a damp mulch. That usually takes at least a week to ten days.
Actually the skin is the most important organ in the body. Without it everything would go 'fluuurpp'.
I could attempt to look clever and pretend that I didn't need to look it up on ONS or via google......but i'm not going to.......I don't know. However, my anecdotal experience is that many C-Sections struggle to provide colostrum, let alone go on to breastfeed. Full term C-Sections are less of a problem, as the body is ready to give. I don't know of any C-Section, non-breastfed infants that haven't had problems (But then I guess there will be a fair amount of confirmation bias on my part). Usually dismissed as "Colic" which is essentially 'An Undiagnosed problem, resulting in crying'....Which I believe is awful really. If you don't allow inoculation of the gut with Lactobacillus, bifidobacterium infantis etc before the onset of feeding, you are essentially setting the child up for colonsation by E.Coli.....And symptoms as per watery mouth in Lambs (At least this is how I discovered this whole issue, with my children). The consultant Paediatricians had apparently 'never considered it', which worried me, and I think i worried them when i asked if it would be safe to give my recently born first child a whole dose of Pro & Pre-biotics.....Based my brief spell lambing & the fact that my daughter's tummy would 'slosh' as per watery mouth. It sorted the problem pretty much overnight, and also got rid of runny noses & nasty arses, which was a bonus. We have repeated this with various friends in the same boat & every time it has at least helped, if not solved the 'Colic', and other things usually just attributed to being children. The Paediatricians have since discovered a lot of work being done on this, in Australia. It's also drawn my attention to antibiotic use (Which we all acknowledge buggers around with the guts), and the corresponding vulnerability to other diseases.....I never really suffered from cold or coughs, before I had a particularly strong course of Antibiotics post an operation.....I've never since managed to sort my guts out.
I don’t pretend to know much about gut biota to even begin to answer that. Like you, I’ve seen what a lack of colostrum does in ruminants but I’ve no experience in mono gastrics. The same principles still apply.
