Glyphosate Debunked

Debunked
Written By Derrick Josi

We use glyphosate every year on the corn we feed our cows. We apply about a soda can (12oz) for every acre. Our corn is sprayed when it is about 1.5 to 2 feet tall—and that is the only time we spray.

Glyphosate is less toxic than table salt and caffeine you drink every day. Yet people are scared of it. There was a study of 50,000 farmworkers that used it, and there was no direct link between glyphosate and cancer.

Glyphosate is one of the safest chemicals we as farmers have ever been able to use.

Brian, an Indiana corn and popcorn farmer, created the below video to show you exactly how much Glyphosate is used per acre.
