“I’m not sure there is Round-up ready wheat but even if there is you wouldn’t spray for weeds right before harvest it would be a waste of time and money.”

Yeah, and you’d have to spray it from a freaking plane to keep from knocking the damn wheat down!

I vote it’s just hippy BS.

I wrote a paper about Round-Up ready wheat way back in the eighties, when it was first being used in North Dakota. I hadn't heard about the late-season spraying, but I haven't been involved with farm/crop innovations in many years.

Here's a link from an anti-chemical outfit, but the ag people at North Dakota State University are quoted in it, and they know their stuff.
