Exactly like I figured ....

5 days after a few local wizards were spraying in 40 k winds ... Big time drift damage
Wtf is the matter with guys heads ???????

Same shit here..Wind always blowing onto the neighbors crops..They just keep on going..

The big guys know zapping each other is all part of the game. What's 5 acres here and there on the grand scheme of things?
Think of it as comaraderie.
When your having beers at the golf club you can have a laugh about it. " Your boys zapped my roundup ready canola"
"Yeah your boys zapped my invigor canola"
"Well , with the system on the new sprayers the dealer told the boys they could really giver"
"How much canola did you boys plant this year?"
"About 1000 acres more than you boys"
(Together) "A ha ha ha ha " (take a pull of beer).
"Yeah, Im trying to get some family time out here at the lake with the old lady, but I got the boys doing fungicide, the agronomist did some counts and we got to giver"

I did nail myself....Velocity on peas...just on the egde, in varying depths. Neighbor got me the same way once but across a level back road. They did recover but I don't know how well these will. You know, it wasn't even that windy that day. Without barriers like trees, fences or a road between it can be tricky. I have an attitude of not pushing too hard if I get drifted by a neighbor in case I unintentionally return the favor! But I will diplomatically make them aware of it.

Same situation on our farm today, making neighbor aware of his drift... visiting on that level back road!
at least he knows and will compensate if harvest is reduced...

Breadwinner,

Sorry x 2 this post, and a previous one.

It's just observation. To be fair, I go to the lake too. Then I am witness to these kinds of conversations and I think it's bizarre and amusing all at the same time.

Furrow does have a legitimate observation. what does a person do about it? Lawyer? What is it going to cost you to be right, defending your property? What if you drift onto neighbors ?

[riders2010]

Two different scenarios. One where there is little wind and you get spray hanging which is not as easy to tell what will happen. But the other is when it's blowing your hat off towards a guys pea field and your spraying wheat. In that case honest the God there needs to be a few charges of property damage laid and publicized. Loosing a field for a large farmer may not be too costly but for smaller farmers loosing a field could be the difference of going on or not.

And wtf is going on with booms at 4 or feet high and the dealers saying their bullshit that the special nozzles don t drift. Fk that bullshit.

[farmaholic]

......or buy some different nozzles. I hate spray tips that spit out coarse globs.

[furrowtickler]

Slow down and drop the pressure ??? Are you Fukin kidding in winds over 40k ?? Blowing right into a pea crop right beside you?
Your comment speaks volumes not so wise guy.

If it's 24d mcpa fluroxypyr or florasulam you would...
