ARE THERE ANY USA WHEAT FARMERS ON HERE??

With roughly 200,000 sacks of wheat a year we market everywhere we can.
Greatly depends on variety. Most goes to cereals and bakers brokered through commercial facilities.

Fun FACT;

GMO’s were designed to allow us to use LESS chemicals.
Much Less.
Yes, glyphosate always accompanies them, but it is safer, more effective, and applied less often with lower residual values than previous control methods.

We are a 3000 acre family farm. My father at 65 has applied these products all his life with no ill effects. We handle them in full concentration. We eat everything we grow. Our children work and play in the fields after recommended
Lapse times have passed. (24 hours for glyphosate).

Weekly petiole (plant tissue) tests are taken all summer long on every field for plant health. Nobody cares more about delivering a healthy product than we are. Our future depends on it.
 
No.
I have no knowledge of anyone who does.
Doesn’t even make sense.
Roundup is a systemic, takes way to long to make its way into the roots and through the plant to even act as an effective dessicant for the purpose they’ve stated.

24 hours is the wait time between application and physical contact with the plants.
After that it’s in the plant, but still takes 10-14 days to run through the plant system and actually kill it.
 
We use it strictly as a weed killer, or to kill off our hay stands when they are past their prime.
Round up ready hay has to be killed with an alternative broadleaf spray.
 
My dad is a crop insurance adjuster in Idaho after selling chemicals and fertilizers for decades. We were heading out to go fishing a couple summers ago and he was pointing out the Garbanzo crops that had been treated with Roundup to desiccate them prior to harvest. First I had ever seen of that type application but never on dry land wheat/barley.

MH you have probably read some of the same books I have come across too. Dropped 25# since avoiding a lot of these wheat products from my diet.
 
Never heard of it being used as a desiccant anywhere in SD.

People cringe when they hear Glyphosate... on a corn crop we are putting it on the plant mid June at 32oz~ an acre, meaning each plant would to get .001/oz given every single bit of it landed on that plant, and then its not harvested for another 4 months.

Not food grade corn, but you get the point- the amount that actually makes it into your body isnt enough to hurt a fly.

Heard a story of farmer who drank round up to kill himself, he got the chits. LOL. Not sure if it was true but anywho, good luck MH hope you can find what is causing her problems.
 
I feel like ALOT like alot alot of wheat would need to be consumed for any sort of allergy to be triggered, even if the crop were to be sprayed just before harvest, which I am guessing is a very uncommon practice.
 
No it does not. I am a full time grain and vegetable farmer.
Thanks for the helpful reply.

I simplified. The idea is to be able to kill broadly targeted weeds without killing the crop.

So the most info I got from your posts is that your a FULL TIME GRAIN AND VEGETABLE FARMER.

If this is what you do full time why not actually participate in this conversation and give some knowledge for the reason to this post?

If you want me to detail our spray programs for non-gmo waxy corn, RR corn, RR beans, Peas, and Sweet corn it's not going to happen. It would take WAY too long. I simply stated that glyphosate does not kill everything but the crop, because it doesn't. Not even close.

Don’t believe anyone asked for your full spray programs. Just when and why glyphosate is sprayed.

We spray a light pre emerge mix of glyphosate and integrate it with the field cultivators for Round up ready corn and beans, glyphosate mainly targets broadleaf weeds, we can not use roundup on the peas, sweet corn, or non-gmo waxy corn. 1 or 2 additional passes with roundup and other herbicides are sprayed throughout the growing season for broadleaf and other weed/disease/insect pressures.
