Some of the Knee Jerking things I through up on this post seem a little more plausible after the pesticide article in the paper today. If people are being affected by the agricultural practices, certainly a very sensitive tree like our rain making OHIA Could be affected by the higher levels of pesticides?

In a word, no. At least, not by glyphosate, which binds tightly to the soil and also breaks down quickly. Of course, they may be using other herbicides beside the anti-GMO crowd's favorite bogeyman. But those too are not likely to be moving in the quantities needed to kill trees.
