To recap, you contradicted drewmal above, who said:

> it leads to loads of herbicide usage (glyphosate). The process of desiccation also leads to loads of glyphosate being used just prior to harvest, on non ‘Roundup Ready’ (glyphosate resistant) crops

You replied "Ummm no, less herbicide actually".

The Nature study you claimed supported your assertion said herbicide usage was steadily up, and more was used on non-roundup-ready crops.

I don't know if you meant "no" to reply to one or the other of those claims or both, but it doesn't matter because they both agree with drewmal.

Drewmal is wrong, it’s just nonsense. Call up your local university extension program and ask. Not hard.
So when your own citation contradicts you, you call it nonsense and just go back to repetitive false assertions.

Have you considered a career in politics?

I just got off the phone with my local university extension program. They said you're wrong. Sorry.
