I'm not fighting with you. We don't know from your pic if that corn the farmer is walking through was sprayed or not. If so he is in violation of the REI. If not he's OK. The sprayer operator is exempt for some of the PPE requirements because enclosed cab. I have the book.

Yes, I read that part of the label.
I watched him spray that area he is walking in.
While I was gone, he moved the tractor to where it is in the photo.

Nice to know you're "not fighting with me."

Just to be clear, you're saying it's not a violation to eat his lunch in the tractor while spraying Atrazine?

In the user safety recommendations it says " users should" wash hands before eating, drinking etc. Nothing in my label that says it's in violation. Most of those sprayers have super fine filters in them to remove any particulates. Now if ya wanna talk common sense the guy walking through the field is a dumb a$$ if it was just sprayed.

Yes, common lingo from non-committal government agencies and pharma/chemical companies... "should" "could" "might" "may" and the all-time favorite, "insufficient data."

Absolutely a dumbass... and a liar for telling me he was spraying fertilizer.
