With Bayer CropScience shelling out more than $10 billion so far to settle claims that Roundup and glyphosate cause cancer, there is concern about the long-term availability of glyphosate as a tool in production agriculture, including no-tillers and strip-tillers who use the approved chemistry to kill weeds and reduce or eliminate the need for tillage.
In this episode of the No-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by Yetter Farm Equipment, Elizabeth Burns-Thompson, executive director of the Modern Ag Alliance (founded by Bayer), details the organization’s work to protect the availability of crop protection tools such as glyphosate.
She also highlights state and federal legislation that has been introduced that could limit or end the litany of legal claims, and she predicts what effects a ban on glyphosate would have on farmers and conservation efforts.
