Didn't I read that some GM connected Canola - rape has become
uncontrollable by chemicals and Monsanto are sending workers to remove it
by hand?


I would love to see where you read this. Volunteer RR Canola can be sprayed
out of other crops such as flax(MCPA Ester) wheat(2,4-D Ester), peas(MCPA
Amine),and Barley(a variety of phenoxys) quite easily, and in a majority of
these fields these sprays are used whether the volunteers are there or not.

Do you think the total need to remove rogue plants by hand has been
overcome or just some of it?

Probably never will be, but it is certainly becoming less, in
comparable environments.

You lost the thread, as you often do.

I was asking Dean whether the set of chemicals he states eliminates
Monsanto's need to send workers to remove the multi-resistant canola by
hand.

You should read science, not propaganda if you seek the truth.

You always say farmers do not have to buy the technology. Well that is
some of them doing their best to discuss the matter with one another.
