I am not an expert, but my understanding is that it is still _heavily_ used in the US.
There are Roundup (brand name for glyphosate here) Ready crops that are resistant to glyphosate. We then douse them in Roundup from planes.
The primary concern thus far has been for farm workers who are exposed to massive doses by being in or near the fields when they're sprayed. There's been some fringe concerns about the effect on people eating the produce, but it hasn't been major so far that I've seen.
It seems like that may be changing and people are now worried about the effects of eating Roundup.
