It’s banned in Europe so I hope it will be banned in US.

We use tons of glyphosate plus other pesticides on our corn, soy, grains, oats, almonds etc although it’s banned in many countries including Russia.

Now - some northern farmers and esp Canadian farmers are spraying glyphosate on crops days before harvest so crops dry uniformly. That’s why Cheerios are one of USProducts with the most glyphosate. Also - desiccation with Roundup also used on sugar crop in Florida and Louisiana- probably contributing to algae growth.
