@simonmaechling General agreement when it comes to health and environmental effects. I would suggest that some GMO traits were adopted too widely, resulting in accelerated pest resistance to some pesticides.
@NadineGNess@lesleyraekelly@HealthRanger So what percent of wheat is sprayed with glyphosate? And please don’t include applications made pre-plant as a burndown of weeds.
@kevinfolta@Kat_Cammack Yeah we should blindly spend trillions of TAX PAYER dollars on “green energy” programs … because the Feds always are most efficient

@Soilecol118999@agronomistag Pretty dang efficient IMO. It’s a business and margins matter. If you waste you don’t last very long. Improvement can be made, but the goal is to optimize yield … in terms inputs and profitability. Thousands of tests are done annually to validate fertility, water management, etc
@Soilecol118999@agronomistag Crop production is more efficient than ever before …and YIELD is the primary metric. Units of production per acre are way up … much more than inputs such as fertilizer. Of course this varies by crop, geography, etc. … but I don’t understand your point
