Just a farm perspective here....when we applied Round up to our 22 acre farm to kill off the weeds in preparation for planting each spring, it was applied by a boom sprayer (shoots about 40-50 feet) attached to the tractor....so a Round up fog settled over the fields....hence the farmer applying Round up has a air borne fog of the chemical surrounding their land until it settles.....very different than the tiny sprayer attached to my gallon jug of Round up in the garage.
Just as interesting....we could purchase "Round up ready seeds" that could be planted in the ground within 2 weeks of the spraying and would be able to grow even if sprayed with Round up....genetic engineering.....FDA approved....
