The study they are quoting is questionable.

However, here is a more reasoned discussion about glyphosate use.

I can't find the USGS publication the story is supposedly quoting. I did a search of USGS publications and there are some serious dangers to using glyphosates but I've not found any study that measured it in rain water or in the air except in this story which is reprinted on some very questionable sites.
