Re:Mexico is phasing out imports of glyphosate and GMO corn by yarky on Tuesday August 10, 2021 @12:59AM (#28125280)
[here](https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/italy-canada-durum-wheat-dispu...) is the story. The point being glyphosate is widely used in Canada to increase yield and italians didn't like that either.

Yeah, in oats now the harvest is managed in terms of if a pre-harvest desiccant was applied crops are binned and handled separately.

I dislike this being spelled out in terms of "increasing yield" as it is actually more about managing quality. Pre-harvest applications of glyphosate are mostly a thing of the past in wheat anyway, the varieties dry down better now - it was mostly a artifact of the Canadian transition from drying crops in windrows to leaving them stand. The genetics have caught up now.
