Interesting concept @Jolly But I think that mulching can be good for the lawn.
And don't golf courses use a lot of chemical on the lawn to keep it looking so nice and free of weeds? Not sure if that would be good to feed to animals.
Anyway, I think that it is a good idea and hope that it finds a place

Not in favor of eating animals that have been fed on this stuff that has been treated so heavily.

For some reason, they say that ensiling breaks down the compounds.
Supposedly.

It seems like once a week, or more often, they are spraying something.
I know what the story says, but I'm not going to eat it.
I was surprised they use a lot of Round Up on the fairways during the winter. Round Up doesn't work on dormant grass. So when the fairway grass is dormant, below 32 F, they use round up to kill weeds.

Breaks it down into what, exactly? I also noticed that it covered pesticides and said nothing of herbicides and petrochemical fertilizers.

Good question. And since it's hay, it's organic, baby!

Bayer shares fell sharply after the company was ordered to pay $2.1 billion by a jury in a Georgia state court, the latest legal defeat for the company in a case about its Roundup weedkiller.
The German agricultural and pharmaceutical group said the jury in a trial in the State Court of Cobb County, Georgia, on Friday reached a verdict in favor of the plaintiff. The verdict includes $2 billion in punitive damages and $65 million in compensatory damages, the company said.
Shares in Bayer were down 6.6% at 22.48 euros in European morning trade Monday, having fallen as much as 8.8% earlier. The stock is up about 16% since the start of the year, amid a rally in German shares.

The decision marks the latest legal setback for a company that has been fighting for years lawsuits stemming from its $63 billion acquisition of U.S. agrochemical firm Monsanto, which developed Roundup, closed in 2018. Critics have argued that glyphosate, the active ingredient found in Roundup, causes cancer though Bayer has long maintained that glyphosate is safe to use.
