I am Rosalee Tibbits, a wheat grower in north central Kansas. We are not organic; however, we are 40 + years no-till producers, with a history prior to no-till of being “stubble mulch enthusiasts”. If you don’t know that term, you’re not really in the [farming] ball game!! No-till producers have the exact goals of this organic farmer in Oklahoma. No!! We do not use glyphosate on our wheat!! That seems to me to have become a hammer with which to beat up on farmer generally and nonorganic producers, specifically. It’s ludicrous and unheard of in our area! It’s one more reason we conscientious stewards of the soil, are being stigmatized! I’m incensed to be accused of this!! It’s untrue and most unfair for this falsehood to be propagated. Stop!!
