Yep…it’s not a problem as I said….
From your source…
”pesticide degradation occurs in the soil zone before infiltration to the water table”
FYI, just in case...
"But what should you do if you suspect drift damage in your fields? An injured producer should contact the state department of agriculture to investigate, begin developing evidence of the damage, consider working with the applicator/neighbor to settle the damage, or consider hiring an attorney to pursue a lawsuit in court. Understanding how to handle drift damage can help the injured producer understand his/her rights in this situation."

I see your problem now….The government is not there to help you….
Without watching, the title of the video is about pesticide, your original post has to do with herbicide, does it not?

He went full environazi dozens of posts ago…lol
No, you're confused just as I was in the beginning.
"Pesticide" is sometimes used interchangeably with "herbicide" since the weeds are considered "pests."
And, this video and it's title are a perfect example of that.... since he is discussing the use of Dicamba and 2-4-D and potential liability from drift.
Go figure.
By-the-by, even though the video is five years old, it contains a lot of information relative to this discussion... especially for any farmers here.
Delaware drift...
"The Delaware Department of Agriculture investigates five to 10 cases of pesticide drift every year. Farmers found guilty receive fines up to $2,500, must pay damages to other farms, and may even lose their pesticide-spraying licenses."

What do you think "pesticide" means?

Does not equal "none around here" unless you are talking about your own backyard.
If that's the case, you should be counting your blessings it hasn't happened to you instead of trivializing the devastating impact it has on others who do experience it - and a bit of friendly advice: don't push your luck by boasting about it. Karma has a strange sense of humor.
Technically speaking...

There are no angry liberals here….lol
Not all of our concerns are determined by our politics. I'm pretty certain that one's willingness to be exposed to pesticides is one of those divisive topics that doesn't get split on party lines.
If that were the case, we'd have to move this whole thread to P&R, wouldn't we?

Sorry, I didnt see anything political about the term liberal….it’s just who someone is…a self centered person who thinks the world revolves around them and they feel the need to force people to do what they believe. Nothing about politics, I’ve paid attention to your guidance here….and I respect what you do.
I take it ’P&R’ is a shame room where speech goes to die since I can’t see what you’re talking about from here…..
Btw, talked to the inspector yesterday on the phone. He's still waiting on my sample results along with several others... said maybe next week.
That's what I always thought, too, but not the case.
