Hello Brad,

the point is that there is a volume of published research out there that
shows that
under operational conditions  (I assume that this means following the
directions
on Monsanto's label), glyphosate adversely impacts non-target
forest vegetation.
These species are not competitors with planted trees. Rather they play an
important role in regenerating forests.
