The Great Roundup Resistant Weed Roundup

 pick weeds and improve farming

This US government program would hire a million people to pull and destroy Glyphosate resistant weeds, clearing entire states at a time. Paid for with farm subsidy dollars.

       Excellent idea.   

       So, presumably, the plan is to spray the entire country with glyphosate, and then uproot anything that survives that isn't a Roundup-ready foodplant?   

       I can't help thinking that this is a bit like testing matches.

       Don't be silly, [MB]. Obviously you take a leaf sample of every single plant and send it off for genetic testing.

       Pulling the weeds out by hand doesn't guarantee they won't come back.
