Depends on what your crop it.

Weeds around orange trees are not that big of a deal.

a real problem soon if a Roundup II does not show up soon.

I like to think that if I was a farmer, and had a batch of those resistant
weeds, I would do what ever it took to keep them from going to seed. If
necessary, using a flame thrower and sacrificing part of the crop to kill
them. Cheaper to do that rather than have them infest the whole field.
