Your average corn farmer according to AI might use atrazine and acetoclor pre -plant and glyphosate and mesitrone after emergence and glyphosate again for uniform drying just before harvest.

Who even knows how all these toxins interact when combined.Atrazine is legal in US for corn crop but banned in UK.

There are herbicide studies done using fluorescent tracers simulating herbicides brought into farmers homes on clothing & shoes. Herbicides can then contaminate rugs, furniture etc. and the whole family can be continually exposed.
