As the group, "Understanding Agriculture" sees it; "Over time the power of herbicides has overshadowed growing a healthy competitive crop and minimizing weed transfer. We now have huge combines that act like weed spreaders. Our crops look deep green but are not truly healthy. Herbicide makers now combine multiple modes of action not realizing this is the definition of defeat. And they sell this to farmers as a more powerful herbicide. Our 'go-to' solution now is aerial application - not a healthy crop."
