If glyphosate (Round-up) is banned, are you prepared to pay more for food at the grocery store?

Might end up paying less with Monsanto not getting a cut
@lorne13 Good point.

@lorne13 glyphosate has allowed farmers to continuous crop. Crop production would drop drastically causing prices to rise.....maybe that's a good thing 🤔

@Mongoheadmonster glyphosate is a dessicant, it is a main cause of forest fires as well as a suspected carcinogen

@lorne13 no it isn't a dessicant. It's a broad spectrum non selective herbicide. Things like reglone ion and heat iq are dessicants. Glyphosate doesn't rapidly dry down vegetation like a dessicant...it only kills the plant

@lorne13 it can be used as a pre-harvest...but dry down is much much slower than something like reglone, which is a true dessicant
