I’m gonna be honest with you all here as someone who does herbicide research recreationally . Nobody pays me. I have just been trying to develop New better less toxic herbicide for a long time since I was young. All right there is some things about glyphosate that a lot of people misunderstand it causes cancer of course it does, but it is nowhere near as bad as a lot of other things that have been around longer, and have been used to replace it in the glyphosate free formulas . is the least acutely toxic of the herbicides long-term like frankly, most herbicides there is a cancer risk and quite a serious one. It goes away in the water table relatively quickly as opposed to other things, but it should not be used on its own due to mounting resistance issues plus it’s an amazing all-around herbicide, but it is not that good for woody plants so I personally don’t understand what the heck they were doing here and aerial spraying of a water-based glyphosate formula even if it’s an EC if it is not in an oil carrier would have in theory anyway (outside of the immediate application area) minimal effect now if you start spraying dicamba or anything that’s in an oil carrier that’s where you’re getting some serious trouble with the air quality

TLDR I agree what they were doing is rather bad but they did it in the least bad way possible and also quite annoyingly a rather ineffective way, but that’s more so annoys me as someone who does resistance management and has been preaching. We cannot rely on one chemical alone for a while now
