EDIT: I’m officially withdrawing my assertion that glyphosate may used as a desiccant on grains that are certified organic, due to Leonora straightening me out (😸) — a most welcome correction., impelling a re-research (It’d been a while). Some articles are linked above or below this.

I’m still leaving a few items here which may possibly be of some value to someone…

………

Barley used in beer may be glyphosated as a dessicant to facilitate harvest. (So heads up — You can talk to your local microbrewer ! ).

I’m pretty sure most Euro countries & even Canada is way ahead of us on this in banning the use of these farming practices.

But their govt’s attempts to take over Euro farms might have something to do with big corp. ag/chem pushing back for control & profit 🤔… Dunno.

Research how to undo the effects of glyphosates in your body.

Blessings!

If a product is certified "Organic" it cannot have been exposed to glyphosates.

So… sounds like not a sanctioned or widespread practice, although, as very large org farms may be able to get away with it

well, you know…

Still, I’ll stand corrected. And thank you for that!

That’s ostensibly true, but I have read otherwise, so I’m not confident. The organic certification perhaps applies only to the non-gmo seeds and applications of glyph. in the growing?

Everyone, if I‘m spreading wrong info, I apologize!

Leonora, if you know for certain, I’d be very happy to hear it!

Thanks for your reply!
