Default glyphosate and vegtables

Please provide evidence that trace glyphosate metabolites have been used
to revoke Organic(TM) grower licences. I can just about believe it has
happened given how crazy UK supermarket driven agriculture has become.

In this area agricultural crops are grown on marshland. Some of the time
the land is too wet for wheeled farm vehicles, so spraying is carried
out by light aircraft. Local beekeepers are warned when spraying is to
be carried out, but organic growers are not. Spray drifting is a well
known hazard, and has been the cause of licences being lost.
