The comments after the article are worth reading:

Some of us on the farm saw this resistance coming and expected it. I was seeing some weeds that tolerated small amounts of glyphosate in the first years after it's introduction. Eventual resistance of those weeds was not unexpected.

Oh please, Monsanto. Don't insult my intelligence. You knew all along that weeds would start becoming resistant to glyphosate.

I'm sure Monsanto knew glyphosate resistance would come eventually (they're not stupid). The USDA is not stupid either, and I'm sure they had some motive in accepting Monsanto's BS.

Same old story.
Company: New technology X is perfectly safe!
Researchers: Yes, but what about the possibility of Y?
Company: Y will never happen. We have total confidence in our models that show that Y will never happen in a million years.
Researchers: Yes, but Y does with Z [similar technology].
Company: Sorry, you're wrong.
(After Y happens with technology X.)
Company: Wow, that was unexpected. Who'd have thought Y would happen? Completely unforeseeable, and not our fault. Moving on...
