Could be true, could be just more BS from the Luddites.

Hi GG, I have many ag farmer friends in Wisconsin. When wheat,beans or corn are harvested - I HAVE NEVER SEEN a tractor out there spraying roundup prior to combining. 1) the cost of spraying the crops with roundup plus the diesel cost would be huge. In the case of corn - coops use natural gas to dry the corn after it is combined. It would be impossible to run a tractor over 6 foot corn stalks just to spray roundup on them. It sounds like a very incredible story that is intended to foster fear of the integrity of the crop. I have friends that do combining almost 24 hours a day for over a week. Just never saw a tractor running over about to be harvested crops. Just some input from a Wisconsin country boy FWIW. Bob
