North Dakota and Kansas produce the majority of the United States' wheat crop: https://www.statista.com/statistics/190376/top-us-states-in-wheat-production/ North Dakota and Kansas are among the states using the most glyphosate: https://tinyurl.com/y9cf35pa Details on how to use glyphosate to dry wheat for North Dakota farmers are on this North Dakota State University website: https://tinyurl.com/y8jf3dc9<https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/cpr/plant-science/glyphosate-as-a-pre-harvest-aid-in-small-grains-07-17-14> and general advice on hitting crops with both Reglone (desiccant) and glyphosate to dry down crops are here: https://www.realagriculture.com/2012/08/tips-for-pre-harvest-glyphosate-and-desiccation/ Thus, whilst it is true that most states don't regularly use glyphosate to desiccate wheat, clearly the two states that produce the most wheat do routinely use glyphosate as a desiccant, or as an aid to desiccation in combination with Reglone...thus it would appear that the percent of the total crop dried down with glyphosate and/or Reglone is not trivial.
