Im not going to try to justify myself here because arguing online is silly to me, so I wont go into detail of what properties I have kept up, or the acreage I have used this stuff on. I dont work for a co-op but I didnt see that as a prerequisite in the users manual for the stuff Ive sprayed. I will however tell you that I know full well what I am talking about when it comes to using herbicides.
Ive got a lot of respect for in regards to tractors. You know your stuff. But please dont assume that everyone on this forum is incompetent in regards to every topic you are knowledgable on. Some of us do, in fact, know a thing or two about agriculture as well. What "commercial" glyphosate are you using? Just curious.

I wasn't talking to anyone in particular. I just thought it was funny what both you and Double07 were saying about mix rates. Double07 is right. You have no idea what concentration George was referring to that he mixed. The stuff you buy locally is a low concentration. I've shot some of that stuff dang near strait and it took forever to burn down. I don't know how to refer to "commercial" grade concentrations other than to just say that. You can't just walk into your local farm Ag chem company and buy a 2 gallon jug of Round-Up (glyphosate). They won't sell it to you, because you have to have an applicators license to buy that concentration. Even though you can buy Round-Up at Wal-Mart.... you can't get the "good" stuff.
I have to assume in a topic like this that people are ignorant. Soooo many herbicides are available to the general public now that anyone who uses them assumes it's the same stuff that gets sprayed on a field..... it's not. Nothing to debate.
