I’m wondering about whatever it makes the cotton, or any crop, resistant to Roundup. This stuff is genetically engineered to survive Roundup. What’s in it that does that? It apparently changes the crop, if it has a saltier taste.

My apologies. I’m a rancher, not a farmer, only time i use round up is to kill every thing. I had to read up on the Round-Up ready cotton, and I’m not sure what your worries are. Genetically modifying doesnt mean it would hazardous to wildlife. What i do find strange about this whole story, is the deer eating the cotton. I’ve got 3 sections, with my neighbors cotton fields bordering my west fence line, and i’ve never in 25 years seen deer eating cotton.
