I have a BIL who is planting all non-Glyphosate corn becase he read some fantastic sounding Email foreward claiming Roundup-ready corn causes low conception rates in farm animals. This email claims Monsanto has kept this quiet and has paid off the nay-sayers. That claim reminds me of the old story about the oil companies paying off the maker of the 200 MPG carburetor years ago!!!
I Googled this dire sounding claim about lower conception rates and found out scientists have been aware of this for a long time but have dismissed it as hogwash. Glyphosate has been around for a good many years, enough years for the scientific community and government regulators to have found side affects, if there are any. The way we first used Glyphosate as a spot spray was much more dangerous to our health than the way we use it now. We used to get it on our hands and clothing while we rode that bean buggy and we didn't wash it off till we got home. Today we use rubber gloves while we pour it into a sprayer that delivers it to the plant in precise amounts that are only enough to do the job and we, for the most part are riding in an air conditioned cab that keeps it off of us while we spray.
