It makes zero sense to "just do it" when evidence suggests this type of flippant sustained use is an invitation for a superweed invasion.
That is unless you feel that you can give a negative response to either or both of my two questions on post # 216 with evidence to back your response.

Well I'm not in the heads of any of these farmers, but I would guess that the factors to 'just do it' include disbelief in any potential future negative impacts or the degree of those impacts, ignorance and being in a position where today's returns are not worth risking on the basis of tomorrow's ifs.
