Pittsburg, Kansas | I am not familar with the lady doing the interview. Have never heard or watched her before. I just wanted to hear what Bikman had to say.
Yes, I find often people not familiar with agriculture get things like glyfosate wrong. A lot of them claim all the wheat is sprayed with it. I can remember only one year in my more than 50 years farming when Roundup was used on some wheat when harvest was delayed and the weeds were coming up in it. I never did (just slugged through the tops of the green weeds) because of the waiting period before harvest. So I have never done it. My point is certainly not all wheat has been sprayed with Roundup like some claim or afraid of. Maybe it is a common practice up north or somewhere else, but not at all in our area.
Another area I find a lot of mis information is grass finished vs grain finished beef. It is like the grain finished beef never got any grass in its lifetime and is only fed grain. Most of them don't realize even grain finished beef either also gets hay (grass) or silage (corn is a grass also) and if fed only grain in ruminants would bloat and kill them.
I have yet to find any single human with perfiect information on every subject. Even the doctors and scientists I think highly of their opinions, I stil believe they are human and subject to error. So I evaluate everything they say and take what I think is good in the information they provide.
Super smart people can be completely dumb in some areas. Albert Einstein was world renouned as being a genius, yet his personal life was a way less than perfect. Him being knowlegable and capable in one area didn't mean he was a genious in every area of life. I had a doctor in my church 40 years ago that was a really good doctor. Really smart guy. But the joke was his wife put together the bicycles at Christmas for the kids because it was no joke. He had almost zero mechanical ability. Very smart in one area yet poor in another area.
A person has to evaluate information from everyone. Even someone they usually think highly of their opinion. Nobody's perfect.
