Agronomically, I cant see anything wrong with it. Economically, I"m not paying 7 bucks a pound for it. I"ve got too much trouble curing alfalfa without some grass in it so I cant see how its going to help me much, at least r.r. Now leaf hopper resistant, that I like.
For farms feeding the dairy trade I can certainly see the benefits. As to using GM crops, I"ve used r.r. soybeans and r.r. and triple stack corn. The amount of pesticides the reduce is phenominal. I"d a lot rather see corn treated twice with glyphosate which is cheap, safe, effective, and has a small footprint in the environment rather than see the gallons and gallons of triazines leaching into the ground water and gallons and gallons of highly toxic insecticides to control corn borers and worms. I"ve never seen an accident with roundup kill cows but I"ve seen lots of disasters with diazinon, lorsban, and furidan.
