The people I know who are frustrated by the glyphosate drama are not calling for a ban—for one day glyphosate to be legal, and the next for it to be illegal.
What we're advocating for is for the EPA to represent the science and to inform the public about the dangers. We want a warning label. This strategy, taken from the cigarette playbook, will raise awareness of the issue and change consumer behavior, thereby increasing demand and incentivizing conventional farmers to transition to regenerative, organic practices.
How is giving immunity to the pesticide corporations something to offer "an off rump."? In my view, it's going backwards, making things worse than they are. I am not being divisive, I don't appreciate after all the work we have done collectively to be told that we can't question the obvious
We farm dryland soft white wheat in the PNW and although we don’t use glyphosate as a desiccant prior to harvest here, it has become increasingly used to prevent weeds on the fallow ground. We use regenerative farming practices, but that has increased the use of herbicides. In order to reduce tilling the fallow ground, that requires the use of herbicides. We would love to not have to use herbicides as they are so expensive. With the price of wheat as it was in the 1970’s and farming costs higher than ever, the future of farming is bleak.
Thank you for your efforts & a voice of reality. Folks seem to think we can fix decades & decades of issues overnight. Hope you are receiving any new benefits which apply to you . . . https://www.usda.gov/
I have to agree with Adam Garrie, although I think he should be a bit more understanding and conciliatory to those who are outraged that glyphosate will still be around. I am thinking of his offensive remark at the end : " We are not interested in you " ( that is, those who disagree with Garrie, Kennedy etc..) . Reach out specially to those that have been affected by those chemicals, and I am thinking here of a person and his wife who told their story about the unhealthy effects upon them of this nasty chemical in the comments section of a previous story.
Throwing more money at quick fixes while "allowing" poisonous chemicals in our food is not the answer. Make chemical companies accountable and liable, as anyone should be that produces or does something that kills or harms others AND support small organic and natural farmers who care for the food and land and are struggling in the face of big Ag. We are at a cross roads now where one can talk about becoming healthy while talking about killing with war...quite the paradox. When we love this Earth and all its incredible gifts and each other as ourselves, then maybe we will be worthy of inheriting it.
I have lived most of my adult years trying to eat organic and natural, locally produced food if we didn't get or grow it ourselves. What I expect from people in governing positions is to protect this Earth and us, we "the people", and coming generations (of all species) from harm by listening to what is needed instead of what is profitable. When we care for this planet and each other, not killing the planet and each other, prosperity and health will ensue,
Listen not to the naysayers, rather, use common sense and plan for a cleaner, healthier future.
This is a straw man.

A minor issue, but accuracy is important for you to be believed. The pre-harvest chemical is a herbicide not a pesticide as stated in this article.
We farm dryland soft white wheat in the PNW and although we don’t use glyphosate as a desiccant prior to harvest here, it has become increasingly used to prevent weeds on the fallow ground.

Voice of reason! Thank you Tony.
