[AT] Round-Up resistant weeds

[John B]

Yes, in our walnut orchard here, we have ryegrass that is totally resistant to Roundup. We are having to use other herbicides, which are neither as safe or as cheap to use as Roundup. I wonder what all those corn and soybean farmers in the Midwest are going to do when the Roundup no longer controls the weeds in their Roundup Ready crops?

Not old tractors, but related---I had no idea that this problem was becoming as big as it apparently is.
