Glyphosate resistance is becoming a problem in a lot of areas due to weeds developing resistance. That's why it is important not to rely so heavily on glyphosate, and instead incorporate it's use as part of a larger, more comprehensive weed management program.

It happened to farmers who relied too heavily on glyphosate once RoundupReady varieties of certain agricultural crops were introduced. Same thing can easily happen in food plots.
