In this context, "doused" is an emotional word and completely inaccurate.

After my GMO corn and soybeans are about 12" high, I use a contact spray (glyphosate) at a rate of roughly 10 gal/acre to selectively kill weeds. If you would watch the sprayer in the field, you would note that the nozzles are emitting a very fine mist. To me, it is an incredible feat of science that such little spray is able to completely and selectively kill the weeds.

Also, I'm not aware of ANY pesticides that are save for human consumption. To what are you referring?

Source: On the side, I farm 35 acres planted using no-till and GMO corn and soybeans. I hire a crop consultant to help me rotate pesticides to avoid developing glyphosate-resistant weeds.

Hope you're wearing appropriate gear when you're applying this poison in your "side" farm. https://gmandchemicalindustry9.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/g...

Unfortunately there's no protective gear for eaters of your corn.

Can you explain me why glyphosate is bad and copper sulfate or rotenone are good?
