My grandfather was a rice farmer. I worked on his farm into the 1990's. I've seen 24D sprayed by crop dusters across hundreds of acres. Dram was as well.

Sweet. I've worked on a golf course for 10+ years, and have applied, first-hand just about every chemical family you could imagine putting on turf, with 0 problems.
Glyphosate and 24D is childs play when it comes to what I've applied.
It's not like Dow, BASF or Bayer just comes out with some new chemical and BAM everyone uses it. It takes about 5-7 years for a new chemical to come onto the market after thousands of trials and millions of dollars spent to research its effects upon nature/humans/animals/other crops, if there are any.
