[QUOTE="Popcorn, post: 5554998, member: 20151"] Herbicide tolerant crops are a result of genetic engineering and to my knowledge pose no threat to insects, animals or humans. Newer varieties are “stacked” with tolerance to 3 and 4 different herbicides. The problem is that as we kill the weeds that cannot tolerate the chemicals what remains are the ones naturally tolerant and they become the new super weed. Pigweed / Amaranth / Palmer are really good at this. When wildlife eat these plants (after being sprayed) that is the area of great concern. Another concern that needs to be follow closely is the rebranding of chemicals like dicamba!! Minor changes in the makeup and you have a new product under a new name without the history! That’s already on the shelf. Voluminous drift is the real big issue but over all it’s a bad chemical and anything resembling it needs to be eliminated. [/QUOTE]
