There’s a saying … ‘a little knowledge is a dangerous thing’.
When used on a crop to be harvested instead of a recognised desiccant, glyphosate is applied at a more dilute rate than when used as a weedkiller. It is also applied around ten days before harvesting to enable it to work.
And animals don’t eat weeds? Tell that to the many horses, cows, sheep, goats and pigs my family and I have kept.
Total bunkum and codswallop I’m afraid.
And all that being said, given the several incidences of lymphoma among farmers I know who have used it all their lives, and their families … I prefer not to ingest glyphosate if I can help it.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
For Heaven's sake! All you hear these days about how wonderful hay meadows were with their diversity of plants. Do you imagine the livestock didn't EAT it? They just grew it for fun? Of course livestock eat 'weeds'.
