Pre harvest use has been yet another bad farming story, so what ever the science, a, I don't want my food pre treated and b, we should stop shooting ourselves in the foot in terms of publicity.
Would you ever consider putting up some independent analysis and facts to support your claims?Banning roundup would reduce cereal production and increase the price of said cereals.
The crap price of cereals failing to keep up with inflation can be traced back to 1978 when the stuff become widely used.
This is the real issue. The glyphosate debate has been totally hijacked by the professional Green Lobby and all scientific facts has been ignored in a deluge of fake news.Pre harvest use has been yet another bad farming story, so what ever the science, a, I don't want my food pre treated and b, we should stop shooting ourselves in the foot in terms of publicity.
Anybody involved in farming knows that the real terms value of cereals is about 25% of what it was in 1978.Would you ever consider putting up some independent analysis and facts to support your claims?
If we banned Roundup would we still be able to use the plethora of other brand name products that contain glyphosate?
Could the relative fall in cereal prices not be due to over production linked to better and more abundant fungicides; better and more advanced plant breeding and higher uses of fertiliser?
How does use of Roundup reduce the value of the crop? I remember using it in the seventies - it was bloody expensive and we used it very sparingly.
Did you bother to read @Exfarmer 's opening post?
Triple likeRoundup is a great product when used intelligently for it's original purpose, but using it as a desiccant on crops for human consumption is just mad.
I've farmed in the middle of East Anglia for thirty years and I don't know anyone who continually crops cereals.Anybody involved in farming knows that the real terms value of cereals is about 25% of what it was in 1978.
Better fert and chem have played a part , but are only replacing the yield drop caused by continuous cereal cropping which glyphosate makes possible.
