Farmers are a different story since exposure is via the digestive track.
How will my glyphosate-INtolerant grass and shrubs react to overspray from a careless lawn service spraying my neighbor's glyphosate-tolerant lawn?

I've seen squirrels, rabbits, birds, snakes, and dogs in the lawns around here too. I don't know if they would graze on my neighbor's glyphosate-treated lawn or how it would affect them.

As (I think) I stated in my first post, my concern isn't about the GMO plants, my concern is about careless use of Roundup-like chemicals. If there is no careless use then there is no concern.
