I’ve read that the problem with wheat is primarily that they dump roundup on the crop a couple of days before harvest. When a plant dies, it puts all it’s resources into seed. Thus killing the plant with roundup makes for a bigger harvest, and easier harvet and a toxic harvest.

That and today’s wheat is a hybrid that has far more allergens than historical wheat.

Didn’t affect this guy. This story was about organic milk. They are not allowed to use any crops for feed that use weedkillers on the feed stock. It was a phony article anyway. Another hobby farmer trying to make it in the organic industry. With 45 cows, nearly impossible to compete.

I doubt this Roundup story. Wheat is not harvested green. It’s fully matured and dried up before harvest. Spraying it in the last 2 weeks would have nor affect on harvest volume. Spraying it when green would hurt the yield.

How many days have you spent watching and waiting on a field like I have?

Don’t believe everything you read...........................................

Now put your thinking cap on and think about it. Who ever wrote that is just another liberal who doesn’t know a damn thing.
