Glyphosate cost through the roof and beyond.....

Even using a surfactant, I'm not getting the same results with 41% glyphosate that I get with branded Roundup. I'm still scratching my head as to why...

More than 9,300 people have filed glyphosate cancer lawsuits against Monsanto Co., alleging that exposure to Roundup herbicide caused them or their loved ones to develop non-Hodgkin lymphoma cancer.

These settlements would resolve more than 100 000 Roundup cases for $11 billion ($2 billion per year over three years).


You are now paying for that 11-Billion price tag.

My dad died a few years ago at 93. He used herbicides in the 60s and farmed about 500 acres. He never used any kind of protective gear until he sold the farm when he was about 70. Many of the herbicides used back then are not around now.
I guess he might have made it to 94 if he hadn't been exposed to the herbicides. Maybe we should jump in on the lawsuits since he died so young.

Was in local Rural King yesterday seen they had a few pallets with barrels of 41%, sticker was $999.99. Are the white ploy barrel 55 gallons?

There is another 59% of ingredients. some of which go toward efficacy. Just as generic beer tastes different than the brand name, there are differences in the additive packages.

If you have hard water, try adding AMS.

All the best,

If you opened the lawsuit link, there is a bit of info saying of our grandparents and parents who had less concentrations in their bodies compared to each and every generation following.

Additionally, the children as offspring were at a disadvantage as these chemicals weakened their DNA from the parents. Go a few generations and now those who are still farming with the chemicals are dying sooner than later in life.

It's all compounded and passed on until the family line can not reproduce offspring anymore due to the chemicals.

You as an offspring need to reflect how healthy your DNA is for both immunity and allergies. Then look at your kids and grandkids. IF you notice a degrading pattern, then the tell-tale signs are predominate.

I do not believe all these scaremongering stories about ag chemicals and supposed ill health effects. I retired last year at the age of 77 after farming and using all sorts of chemicals for over 60 years.

To me (farming at a subsistence level on poor ground in 4 different countries) Glyphosate is one of the world's greatest discoveries.
