We use it, as do many framers and ranchers around here, to kill invasive weeds in our hay fields and pastures. The weeds can take over a pasture and kill the grass essential for our winter hay and the fresh grass for the cattle to eat the rest of the year.
Screw these outsider "environmentalist" wackos, as Rush calls them, who think of nothing else but sticking their noses into other people's business. Liberals seem to be forever looking for non-existent problems to "fix" so as to meet their political agendas but have little to do with the reality of how the rest of the world operates.
What possible agenda could they have in wanting Round-Up destroyed, other than to bankrupt a successful company and to cause food shortages? Why is it that virtually every Leftist cause leads directly to widespread death and economic decay?
Not sure where in Florida you are but I know here in St. Lucie there is concern about run off into the Indian River Lagoon. Not only from agriculture but from sources such as golf courses. I know Ag is not the all time villain some point it to be and most farmers and ranchers take excellent care to protect the environment.
It is a problem that people don’t get the difference between using a weed killer to pretty up a yard and using it to protect an essential food crop (for people or livestock). Ignorance about the day to day operation of a cattle ranch and other ag operations doesn’t help.
Not sure where you are in Florida but you should check out Florida Farm Bureau’s “Young Farmer and Ranchers” program. A close friend of my son’s is very active in it here in St. Lucie County. They are doing a lot to support agriculture here in Florida.
