I think I agree that glyphosate on food plants (grains, etc.) is harmful. What I have yet to read about or see discussed, is glyphosate as just a week-killer. Herbicide. What is the risk if I spray it in the alley? If I spray it one the weeds in my driveway? Should I use paraquat? My father used to spray gasoline on weeds; is that preferable? Knives can kill, right? But there are good uses of knives, too. I sure wish there would be some disclaimers- if there are any -about glyphosate use.
In 2021 (latest detailed USDA NASS data), approximately 12.2 million pounds of glyphosate (acid equivalent) were applied to U.S. cotton (around 11 million acres). This comes from the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) 2021 Agricultural Chemical Use Survey for cotton (covering ~92% of U.S. planted acres, primarily in key states like Texas, Georgia, etc.).
There is an available option that will not only eliminate the need for NEARLY ALL of that Glyphosate (or any other pesticide/herbicide), but increase cotton fiber output by 3X on the same acreage.
Hi John, just listened to your great interview with Sarah Westall, very interesting and a lot of common sense.
I am from Northern Ireland and am subscribed to The Bowler Hat Farmer in England who you might know of.
But there is a lot of rot via the EU destruction metered out on all of Europe and my country as a whole, Ireland, is being targeted as is the UK by paracitical globalists, which is my term for their operations, equally the same as over there. When the same modus operandi happens in different countries - that is the hallmark of an AGENDA.
We all need to return to our ROOTS! Meaning how we grew and managed our food and other needs pre the corporate industries and their amalgamation with the State, the meaning of Fascisim!
It is so great to know the young are wiser than I thought and all power to them, but we all need to be with them to guide and pass on our experience, tried and tested ways and to make sure we stay in tune with God given Nature - NOT the globalist plastic chemicals.

I just discovered a serial called lovebirds. On the box it says glyphosate free. Great marketing tool.
Try One Degree products Kathy. Oatmeal and delicious granola with no glyphosate.

Please, happy to hear.

Glyphosate and Big Chemical are nearing Bobby's gun range.
