Now it is a second offense!I've said it before. CALL your Department or Agriculture. Right to farm is one thing. Reoccurring herbicide drift is another.

I've said it before, I called them when it first happened, and all they did was confirm what the chemical was.I've said it before. CALL your Department or Agriculture. Right to farm is one thing. Reoccurring herbicide drift is another.
Actually the third... but as far as actual damage being done this time to the vegetation in my yard, I'll know in about a week.Now it is a second offense!
I get what you're saying, and that was my plan from the start.I'd be the squeaky wheel, make enough ruckus(politely).
Get the inspector out there and document the damage every single time. If there's ever any lawsuits or awards later, you want documented proof that it happened.
You can find out how "toxic" the chemicals being used are by looking at the LD 50 on the chemical labels. All you need to do is google the chemical label and it is right there.Nothing will be done about the toxic chemicals being used. The chemical companies won't let it happen.
I know, and I appreciate the advice, but I already know more than I care to about pesticides.You can find out how "toxic" the chemicals being used are by looking at the LD 50 on the chemical labels. All you need to do is google the chemical label and it is right there.
This is regulated by the EPA, not the chemical companies.
PDQ already did that earlier and posted it.My bad, not the label but the SDS. You can check the SDS for each chemical that was applied on the farm adjacent to you. For instance:

If you think the EPA and FIFRA is regulated by the chemical companies then I guess there is not much more for me to say.I know, and I appreciate the advice, but I already know more than I care to about pesticides.
It serves no purpose at all for me to do any more "research" or documentation.
It is what it is and I've come to terms with that.
But that doesn't mean I have to like it.
PS The EPA is regulated by the chemical companies.
I know all about the MSDS, and again, right from the start two years ago, this has been all about 24-D LV6 ester.If you think the EPA and FIFRA is regulated by the chemical companies then I guess there is not much more for me to say.
But if you want to point to "toxicity" there is a measure for that and that is LD50.
I don't think you should like what has been done to your property, I understand your frustration, you should be compensated for what has happened to you, and off target damage is a real thing that is supposed to have consequences.
But if you are going to be fully equipped to engage in this battle you should know about toxicity, LD50, and not just label everything as "toxic" because it is used as a pesticide.
Table salt and vinegar are more "toxic" than glyphosate according to LD50. Yet people think they are taking the "organic" approach by using them to kill weeds. It's just good information to have in your tool box.
She says they were all stonewalling her, she can't get any help at all.Did you ask the AG people what you can do next, like getting trees replaced or anything???
Of course it all makes sense, these people all in bed together…She says they were all stonewalling her, she can't get any help at all.
Now you are getting it!Of course it all makes sense, these people all in bed together…
You hit the nail on the head right there - it's the time spent growing and nurturing the trees and plants.The problem is 2-4 d….the contract out sprayin the the dumb bastards apart g don’t give a **** about nothing but getting done…iv had fruit trees killed…if it ever happens again I will try to get ahold of someone…thing is people don’t understand it ain’t even about the money as much as the time and work you have to put into them!!!!!!!
Thankfully, the farmers who spray the fields next to me don't do that.I know a lot of good farmers have worked with them for years but these people spraying so t give a **** if it’s tornado winds high temp and humidity or what, they just let it rip…..and none of the **** is “ok” health wise for ya….
