Helping to result, of course, in a new generation of Roundup resistant
weeds.

Farmers did a version of this as well. *A farmer would have a
20-30' long piece of 4" PVC with the ends capped. *Inside would be
Roundup and it'd be fastened to the drag links of the tractor. *He
would have screw on caps that held a lantern-type wick that was
wrapped around the pipe, with the pipe acting as the reservoir.
When the weeds in a bean field got taller than the beans, he'd
then drive the field with the pipe just above the bean plants.
The taller weeds would get a "licking" from the pipe as it passed
over them, cleaning up the field.
