Several years ago an article circulated falsely claiming that farmers “drenched” their wheat fields in glyphosate prior to harvest and that there is roundup in your cereal. To this day, we get messages asking if this claim is true and if farmers really spray glyphosate on their wheat. Greg made this video last wheat harvest to answer the questions, but it got lost in the shuffle until this week. Please watch it, let us know what you think in the comments, and share it with friends who may have the same questions!
