    You can't have anything in California. It won't change anything as far as use of glyphosate. Most are going away from it, or should be, anyways.

    Different site of action. I can only speak for Minnesota, but by far the dirtiest soybean fields we have ever seen this year.

    I've never seen resistance to glyphosate. That's crazy to me. I know a lot of farmers are using "Round up Ready" crops to help control weeds, however. Those hybrid breeds could be aiding in what your talking about

    It's all over. Mainly waterhemp resistance. RR crops is exactly what did it. There are "new" technologies coming out but if they get overused like glyphosate, it'll be the same story again.

    Just stands to reason that if one plant can be made to be roundup (or other chemical) then other plants can do the same thing naturally. It's the escape weeds that actually cause the problem, they develop the resistance and pass it along to the next generation.

    Exactly, insects work the same way. They build up Insecticed tolerance over multiple generations. It's important to rotate what your spraying them with, just like it is with what your spraying crops with.

    I think it's obvious we're far too reliant upon chemicals, there has to be a better way of doing things.

    I'm sure you all think I'm a know it all haha. I own a Pest Control company, that's how I know all my chemical info. We also manage turf grass and help diagnose issues with crops for farmers. We will then put together a plan of attack and get them on the right track. I went to school and specialized in Turf Grass Management, all the other just comes with the territory. No reason to have all those pesticide licenses and not do all I can.

    For sure. I honestly think roaches have build up some kind of tolerance to just about every pesticide out there except baits. Now a days spraying won't fully knock out a roach infection, not unless they are teamed with a bait.

    We try to keep spraying to a minimum. We try to disc more often to kill new weed growth.

    The problem with that solution is it's impossible to advocate for the alternative because we're all part of that problem.
