Reply #20: I truly believe otherwise and I have seen plenty of acres of soybeans and corn. [View All]

Most corn and soybean fields OR cow pastures (at least well managed cow pastures) do not have a lot of milkweed growing in them - before or after the corn/soybeans are planted - with or without glyphosate, GMO soybeans or GMO corn. You obviously don't know anything about my experience with field crops. I know what I am talking about. I have been working as an ag extension agent with corn and soybean farmers for 17 years and I grew up on a farm which raised corn and soybeans long before there was any GMO or glyphosate. We had lots of milkweed on our farm, but it was not mainly in the corn and soybean fields OR the cow pastures.

Also I would note that glyphosate is not the only herbicide which kills milkweeds. If milkweed is in a soybean field, corn field, or pasture, farmers are going to find a way to get rid of it, either with tillage or a herbicide. Farmers are trying to grow crops, not milkweed.
