WILF 46,681 Posted April 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 Some of the stuff I have been reading about standard modern agriculture is howling ! Over here the farm people Teagsc were recommending spraying off with round up a week before cutting silage, them cutting and bailing as normal before re-seeding ! So basically feeding silage with a nice glyphosate salad dressing ! f***ing unbelievable !......then us idiots eat that beef or drink that milk ! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
