AO was used for years in New brunswick, Canada by the Power Corp for keeping hydro lines free of brush and by the lumber companies for keeping hardwood brush down while the young softwood was coming up.

After AO was banned, they used Roundup and nowadays they use Vision. If you read our game laws, it would scare you. Children and pregnant women cannot eat brook trout or the liver of deer or moose, and adult, healthy males should only have small portions of trout of a certain size, no moose liver, and only enough deer liver for a cracker once a week. Cadmium, they say. BS, I say.

I can remember huge tracts of forest where you wouldn't hear a bird, squirrel or cricket. It looked like winter in July. I have also caught three-eyed trout up there.... and not just one. Scary stuff.

Oh yeah, they use that crap on the potato fields just before harvest to keep the machinery from clogging up with the tops. Bon apetit !
