Hi Woz,

I have a one room school house that I have been remodeling for the last 4 summers.

It is located next to Badger Hatchery (which owns a Miller Sprayer). Badger provides the service of spraying soy beans and corn.

This praying occurs soon after the seed has germinated and the roots have grown down into the fertilizer which is drilled below the seed at the same time it is planted.

I do not recall the application od roundup late in the growing cycle in an effort to dry the seed.

The soy bean plant turns yellow and dries out well before they are combined .

Ditto for corn as well.

To spray the corn before combining would require a very tall spraying tractor.

The statement that round up is sprayed before combining to dry out the seed was a fear mongering statement spread by some one who obviously did not have knowledge of the planting spraying harvesting sequence.imo

I do a lot of gardening during the summer. I would never consider spraying roundup ever in my garden - unless it was a new plot and I wanted to kill off all of the unwanted seeds and then it would be very early in the spring.
