Farmers are desiccating their crops with Roundup to get it to ripen before cold weather arrives. That was never the original intent of this herbicide (poison). Poisonous barley?

HeavyGunner Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 So it must be a roundup ready strain of barley. That makes sense.

I know lots of people in my area that grow malt barley for coors and anehauser-Busch use seed treat, pre-plant burn down, in crop weed spray and the likes just like the wheat growers Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.
