Re: [blackbelly] RE: Roundup alert!

[Julian Hale]

I was thinking that they probably used 2-4-D rather than 
roundup.  It's a very common herbicide, kills broadleaf plants but 
leaves grasses alone.  I think some people use "Roundup" generically, 
in the same way people used to say "Xerox" instead of "photocopy".  I 
wouldn't assume that 2-4-D is any safer than roundup...

If Roundup was sprayed on the Bermuda Grass it would have killed it.  I
would imagine that it was sprayed on the field prior to the emergence of the
Bermuda Grass touching only the weeds.  Round up only works when it touches
green.  It would not even enter the dormant Bermuda Grass.  In no way am I
saying that Round up is necessarily good or bad only that it should not be
in the hay just because of the properties of the chemicals in Round up.
And I wouldn't drink any of it.
