I live miles away from farms...there are plenty of milkweed lining the roads.
farms are a man made situations. no man, no farms, less edges, less milkweed on the edges. so the worst we will have is a normal pre factory-farm amount of milkweed and monarchs....
good, good.
“I live miles away from farms...there are plenty of milkweed lining the roads.”
And that sounds like conventional farming where Roundup isn’t sprayed indiscriminately. You’d kill your own crop if you sprayed glycophosphate on it. Conventional farmers will use it carefully.
The problem only arises in huge monoculture plantings where modified seed is used and the entire area is sprayed with glycophosphate. The Monarchs better hope that some Roundup resistant milkweed shows up.
