Did you know that they now use glyphosate to kill crops faster at the end of the harvest[1]. Its as widespread industry practice. Specifically for oats, instead of just waiting for them to die / dry out (or whatever they used to do), they now purposely spray glyphosate on them right before harvest, simply to save some money.

This isn't done early in the season, where rain or whatever can wash the crops off. Spray and Harvest.

I understand herbicides when the alternative is manually picking weeds (aka greatly increasing the cost), but to me this just screams over-use. Someone did a basic cost analysis, probably realized its 10% cheaper to use the herbicide, and done.
