Check it out, one of the primary benefits that Monsanto and the
conventional government agencies are touting for no-tillage is the fact that
the conventional no-till method supposedly keeps herbiicides and fertilizers
from being leached from the field as readily as with clean tillage. Isnt
this a tacit admittance that Roundup does not become inert in the soil and
is therefore harmful, but will also be built up in ever larger quantities in
these types of no-till fields?
