Scary Study - Roundup

In article , times says... "phorbin" wrote in message In article , times says... As a farmer, I know what RoundUp does. I have sprayed quack grass with it and it works well at the recommended rate. Not bad on Canadian thistle when applied when they are in the rosette stage in August or early September. When used for its intended purposes it is a great product. Other activities of Monsanto with breeding of RR resistant varieties, I question. The application, by farmers, of Roundup to weeds is not the same thing as a 'lifetime feeding study'. Though a lifetime feeding study should the study be replicable will probably (after Monsanto has pretended that the studies are flawed, hammered it with PR droppings and dragged its feet for a decade) affect the application by farmers of Roundup. Indeed. But then that would be the whole point behind the conduct of such a study. Hi Farm1, How's the weather in upside-down land? Trending dry all over the east but not yet a serious problem, some of North NSW and south QLD are declared "marginal" though the models are predicting wetter than median in those areas next quarter. The BOM is equivocating whether we will have an El Nino summer. I have had one good shower of rain in 9 weeks, due to the wonders of the Big Subterranean Sponge the pasture has spring growth but if there is no rain soon that will brown off pretty soon. David |

I had to put a sprinkler on yesterday because one of my veggie beds was gagging for a drink. |

You're not familiar with McArthurs Universal Corrective Map of the World? Given the trend and sensibility of my Canadian countryman's comments, the thought I presented seemed a logical enough addition to the thread. It was indeed logical, which is why I agreed with you. |
