Glyphosate

I would like a nickel for every story I’ve done on glyphosate. Experts on both sides of the issue. Mothers of America saying that it is nothing less than poison. Lobbyists and national research boards saying it is totally safe. And I’d like a penny for every ad from a lawyers group saying they’d like to represent anyone who has been exposed and is now ill.

And now, recently, litigation around Roundup and glyphosate has been in the news. Darren Wallis, Vice President of North America Communications for Bayer Crop Science, explains what this news means for farmers and the ag community.6-7 LOA Glyphosate

To our ag customers – let me assure you that Bayer continues to stand behind the safety of glyphosate products, which have been used successfully around the world for more than 40 years. We know the important role that tools like Roundup play for growers in running a profitable and sustainable operation, and Bayer remains committed to preserving this technology for farmers. Let me be clear, there is no impact on the access or availability Roundup and this important tool for our ag customers. We thank you for your continued trust and support in us at Bayer, and for the opportunity to earn your business each and every year.
