Interesting. I thought that farmers used an agricultural version of Roundup aka glyphosate. This should be inert having gone through the digestive system of an animal.
However, it should only affect plants if put on the leaves. If farmers are using something else nowadays, that is a serious problem to the eco-system. Their own as well, as they usually practice crop rotation. They spread their animal manure on their own fields which are then used for different crops each year.
