Awesome, Hmoosek! Nice detective work! I knew I could depend on you guys! I've been looking for that page for two days and couldn't remember where I had put it.
I really appreciate that. I was just talking to a representative from the ODAFF yesterday and could not for the life of me find that thread. They had told me that this was not a widespread problem and there were no other reports similar to the one I had just written to them. They tried to tell me that it was probably just 'drift' from a neighboring pasture.
Anyone who knows anything about plants knows that drift of herbicide causes plant death in a concentric area, not all the plants in one row, then none in the row next to it. Every plant in every row where cow manure was used has been affected, while the adjacent rows have zero incidence. (An outcome like that is not the result of herbicide drift). This deformity was present at the first sign of a leaf the day the plants germinated because they were planted in soil contaminated by cow manure that was contaminated with Picloram, 2,4-D, Glyphosate, or Grazon.
Our National food supply is in enough peril already from drought, grasshoppers, wildfire, and flooding, without adding to the dilemma by cross-contamination of food crops from wonton usage of herbicides in the cattle industry.
George described this affect best when he said, "It looked as if someone had passed a blowtorch over a plastic plant."
Broadleaf herbicide is the cause of this deformation. The culprit was cow manure contaminated with Grazon. When cows eat hay from grasses treated with Broadleaf herbicides, they pass that herbicide on through their manure.
Would you eat an okra pod grown from this plant?
Every time you eat beef, chances are that you are eating Grazon, so why not eat the okra grown from these plants?
This needs to be addressed on a National level. People all over the United States are eating plants and animals that have been contaminated by herbicides such as Grazon with chemicals such as, 2,4-D and Picloram.
If this plant looks like this from the residual chemicals that passed through a cow that ate hay sprayed with Grazon, just think of what your gut must look like after eating the cow.
This is ridiculous!
