Are farmers using roundup going to be held liable for the harm their harvests have done to people?

It won't be farmers. The research says it is a safe product, so we are not at fault!

Farmers that use that poison are scum of the earth.

Fuck the warnings, I want the weed spell juice gone and if I have to make your leaders make laws demanding instant robot suit termination, I will do exactly that.

Get that lizard shit off this planet in a safe ship.

No because farmers were told it was safe. Monsanto/Bayer should be held accountable.

I have stopped using it on hay ground. Going back to cultivation only! More work and expense, but have to do something to stop the decline in hay yields!

My stupid neighbor has been spraying roundup and my entire house smelled of it. What a retard.

The FDA/Government should be liable.

If there are any left after floods and tariffs.

And input costs! It is hard to make money because costs have more than doubled in 10 years!

Kangaroo courts, with useful idiots like opie, on the jury..

If they knowingly use chemicals that will harm people then they should be held responsible for the massive injury and death their food products do.

Quit being a tool. Farmers are told it's one of the safest chemicals out there, and that it disappears quickly and there is no residual. That's the research!

Farmers read, watch tv, and the internet where there is a lot of information about GMOs and roundup doing great harm. Just because information from a chemical/gmo seed company to a farmer says there is no harm, that doesn't remove a farmer from the harm he does when basically everyone has heard that roundup/gmos do serious harm.

We get our research from USDA. When they say it is harmful, then it will not be used, but until then, people will use it!

I have great respect for farmers and the hard life they endure. But the ones knowing that the government safety approval of agent orange like roundup is false really should be held responsible for the great suffering their sprayed products cause.

Lead the way OP! Get to the bottom of it!

The farmers and ag workers and their families will continue having some severe health effects, and perhaps even get cancer and die from Glyphosate. This is a very heavy price to pay, which is why the manufacturer, Monsanto/Bayer is being sued big time.
I would think these people are intelligent enough to figure out they are being lied to, and stop supporting such a harmful product.
My son used to work for an ag chemical/fertilizer company here in wheat country, and knows of many, many farmers that are seriously ill all the time. His digestive system has never been the same since he worked there, and has constant problems.
He told me some of the warehouses have chemical dust so bad, that even with a respirator he came home everyday reeking of poison. Some people don't even wear a respirator around the stuff, because they have bought into the bullshit that it is harmless.
No doubt these are the ones that will suffer the most in the future.
We did without these products forever... since the dawn of agriculture, for pete's sake, so it is well past time to go back to the days of manure spreaders and cultivators!!

Abusive posters don't survive long around here.

Most of the farmers knew better. A lot of them won't even eat their own product after using roundup as a harvesting "desiccant".

It's all based on science folks, and the science says it is safe, start funding studies, articles from health ranger doesn't cut it!

This product should immediately be banned from use as a desiccant!!

Do you realize all our grain and legume crops are sprayed right before harvest to dry them and make it easier on the harvest equipment?

This practice is poisoning us all, and has not one thing to do with weed control!! That means all our breads, pastries... anything made with flour is 100x contaminated! It kills the guts of anything it touches... you, me, friendly bacteria... everything!!

It should be stopped right now or every one that is promoting this practice should have the pants sued off of them, and they will!
Once a few corporate farms get sued, I bet the rest will bail on this horrible product!!

You claim this as fact, but I have never seen this practice in my state? Never heard of it except on GLP!

So that's why you stopped using it?

Because it's safe?

Do your research, BigD. Here on the Palouse it is standard practice. I told you my son worked for Wilbur-Ellis!! This is 100 bushel to the acre wheat farming country, and this is big money for the chem companies!

You are one of the posters on here I respect, but think about it. The scientists are mercenaries and just as corrupt as anyone who sells out for money.

After the nuclear catastrophe at Fukishima, the gvt. stopped testing fish for radiation... is this who we should trust to keep our food supply safe?

They are a bunch of liars!

No, I quit using it because my hay yields have fallen. It could be climate change though, so I will see. Have gone to cultivating my hay fields in the spring, instead of spraying them. Other than that, we have to rest land here, called summer fallow, this is when roundup is used, and is done before seed is even planted! Once seed is in the ground, no roundup is used, as that would kill the wheat!

Hmmmm, out here, we swath the fields to get them to dry, so I wonder why they wouldn't do that there? I would not use that practice!

Another thought I have. We export our wheat, and these countries are very determined to keep bad shit out of their food chains, so where is the outcry from them?

The last word of proof on this should be the fact that even with the best, high-powered lawyers in the world...
MONSANTO/BAYER IS LOSING IN COURT AND PAYING BILLIONS.

That is an in-your-face wakeup call for everyone!

The 'science' is obviously flawed, or this just would not be happening!!!

There is irrefutable proof it is causing illness, or the courts of law would not be awarding these cases to the defendants!

Not going to argue in the face of stupidity with anyone who can't see this!

Monsanto should be held liable, because they force farmers to use their genetically modified seed.
