Bud, Glyphosate at labeled rates takes 10-14 days to desiccate a plant. 24 hours would be pointless, a waste of time and violate the labeled pre harvest interval. Get your facts right please.

I heard that on 610 and the rice deal is bullshite. It isn’t that they don’t like the rice, it just isn’t there. Some farmers in Texas and Central LA (Monterey Deer Park?) are growing some hybrid seed production. The majority of the field is a sterile line that must be pollinated by wind from a small strip of normal rice. The overall yields are terribly low and given normal harvest losses, left over grain for wildlife is almost non existent.

It’s typical Twitter bullshite

Biotechnology killed the small seed companies and was the root cause of most of the industry consolidation.

Farmers adopted Roundup ready and BT traited seed enmasse because it lowered risk (BT), increased efficiency and lowered costs. One man on a self propelled sprayer could spray and keep clean thousands of acres that before took multiple people on tractors with 8 row cultivators and layby rigs. Spraying went from mixing cocktails of multiple herbicides to just roundup. In addition, BT reduced cotton insecticide use tremendously.

Independent seed companies were forced due to lack of demand for their conventional varieties to do one of two things
1) sell or 2) purchase biotech lines from Monsanto or 3) license the technology and integrate it into their existing lines (expensive). Most chose 2 or 3 at first before deciding the margins were too thin to compete with the giants and closing or selling out.

As far a chemical? For years, in the row crop industry the vast majority of herbicides sold was roundup/glyphosate. A University of Arkansas weed scientist said “The best thing to add to Roundup is more Roundup. Ag chem companies consolidated to survive. If not for Roundup resistant weeds and a surge in fungicide use for plant health, the industry would be even more consolidated today.

A long post to say it sucks, but farmers ultimately did it to themselves due to their desire to increase efficiency and reduce production costs.

I’ve either farmed or worked in row crop Ag the past 25 years and I don’t know any. So mine or your data set is skewed.

Beef does not mean live cattle in this situation.

Bro you win. I’m dying.

Hunting and selling arrowheads if it’s like Arkansas.

Think anyone will apologize to this person?

I just stuck a 110 savage 270 with a 3x9x44 scope (similar to the Mauser shown) under my clothes like people are implying. Stock under the armpit, barrel down my pants. Could I walk? Yes but extremely awkwardly. Walk a half mile through a neighborhood, up a flight of stairs, run across a rooftop and jump down. No fricking way. This story is bullshite
