I am not sure everyone is having a kniption about the "intended " use of Glyphosate which was soley to kill weeds. What I have a problem with is the use of glyphosate to spray directly on a forming seed head for human consumption and for the sole reason of harvest convenience. Yes, I'm talking about spraying a perfectly clean of weeds , wheat field. Thousands of cares of it. And then calling it "gluten intolerance". Monsanto has fed the farmers a bill of BS and increased their sales of glyphosate by at least 30% or more. How many of you would want it sprayed directly on your potatoes , tomatoes or anything else you eat? Monsanto has been playing with "words" to buy off the farmer. Gluten Alergy" is one thing, it is naturally occuring just like a peanut allergy in many people. What we are seeing in huge numbers never before seen is "gluten intolerance" and it's incidence has gone up in the last 15 yrs in identical numbers as the gallons of glyphosate sold. This is a substantiated fact. No reason for it at all. Perfectly clean wheat fields. Why not go back to using glyphosate for it's intended use which is weed control, and stop spraying it directly on the seeds that feed the world. Harvest convenience is the only reason to do this...earlier harvest and not waiting for a few 'green " areas...wow..that must have just devastated farmers for years having to wait for it to ripen naturally! I grew up on and around the farm and love farming and farmers. Believing Monsanto is like going into the Chevy dealer and asking him what's the best car to buy. Someone give me a "ligit" reason for spraying poison directly on a perfectly weed free field of headed out wheat. You didn't do it until Monsanto "said" you could. Round-up has been out for over 38 yrs....why did this practice only start about 10-15 yrs ago? The farmer is a pawn in Monsanto's quest to increase sales . If I'm all wrong on this then by all means someone tell me as I would sure love to hear the positive side to this practice.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
