the objective of the BMP is to grow most of the food we eat in this country,
in the most efficient manner, then the answer is a resounding “Yes”. Hundreds
of millions of acres of our food staples, i.e. Corn and soybeans are RR (Round
Up Ready) varieties. These crops are engineered to be planted and then
oversprayed with Round Up when the weeds emerge. Helicopters do this most
efficiently. I would hope that this technique is not employed for for any sort
of ecological restoration but the evidence that it is used for this purpose,
is obvious and not just in Utah .<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
