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? I wonder if it is making its way into the beers of the world yet? That'll help control world population growth... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

That makes sense. i don't think So, But Happy to be corrected.. My understanding is : they spray It to ' 1) Stop any late growing Weeds from setting viable Seed. 2) dessicating to Even the ripening up, As It's only done in Western Australia I'm not up to speed on this....
