[QUOTE="Farmer Roy, post: 6915724, member: 71668"] Zero till became the norm & the default cropping system before any GM / herbicide tolerant crops. As it is, the only GM glyoho resistant crops grown here are cotton ( a relatively small, specialised area ) & canola. From what I gather, the uptake of roundup ready canola has been a bit “disappointing”, with not that high a % if farmers taking it up. There are other control options available & there is a lot of legislation / auditing involved in growing a GM crop here. Personally, I see no advantage to growing it over non gm canola, especially if trying to keep it segregated, or missing out in non gm markets. I wouldn’t bother with it. I am 54, & the bulk of my farming career for about the last 30 years ( as an employee, a farmer & a planting contractor ) has ALL been zero till. The only GM crop I have had any involvement in has been cotton, but the BIG uptake in that was for insect control, not necessarily herbicide resistance [/QUOTE]
