#15 - Glyphysteria (and, we love corn)

In this podcast we're joined by our agronomist friend, Seth Tuscherer, to bring the boots on the ground perspective as we discuss the demonization of glyphosate, monocrop agriculture and how the precautionary principle has gone haywire. From RFK Jr to Joe Rogan, glyphosate is painted as a deadly carcinogen, poisoning the world. How did such an incredible molecule, responsible for so much good, fall so far, and be so misunderstood? Join us for another (fairly) interesting ride as we take some of the fear out of the air.
