[QUOTE="redblood, post: 5555644, member: 2947"] Roundup ready isnt an innoculant, coating or pre-seed treatment. Rather its a product of isolating seeds that were naturally tolerant of glycophate (roundup) and selective crossing those seeds together to create a strain that is virtually 100 unaffected by roundup. My undergraduate degree is agriculture and their is nothing about roundup ready seeds that scare me at all, other than the fact they will Definitely be exposed to multiple applications of roundup during the growing cycle. The seed coatings due alarm me because they are directly ingested by wildlife. Here is a pic of a tom i killed last yr in one of my early soybean fields (not a food plot , but a leased ag field). It crawl was completely full of treated seed . But its a necessary evil that makes crop production more efficient and helps lower input costs and crop loss. Which is essential in trying to feed more people on less land [/QUOTE]
