There will be the usual knee jerk sky is falling and the end is near sort of reactions to this development. But hopefully people will at least attempt to understand the issue of weed resistance and the opportunity that is coming with a 2,4-D application on previously susceptible crops.
Through the use of a 2,4-D type compound, which has been reviewed, re reviewed and re re reviewed by multiple EPA administrations and global reviews for years, we will see an opportunity to slow and possibly eliminate some very real weed issues our farmers face.
There will be those on the Monsanto is evil side who will have zero interest in any science or logic, and those on the GMO is the debil side as well.
2,4-D and the new reengineered forms of 2,4-D (that reports show are some real breakthroughs) when used properly are very effective and environmentally quite benign
