Its a bad deal. The rules that producers/applicators must follow do nothing to address the vaporization problem. It only amounts to the seed companies placing the liability on applicators and the government can say we did "something". It is the equivalent of hoping more guns laws stop mentally ill people from going on a shooting spree.
I would bet that the applicator followed all regulations. The rules are written to release the chemical company from any liability. The applicators are an easy scapegoat in this situation.

Part of my problem is that the co op that did the damage does millions of dollars worth of business with the company that I retired from. I should say semi-retired as I still work for them some part time. I'm not going to jeopardize that relationship by filing any complaints or seeking out any compensation through legal proceedings.
Also, the landowner is very generous in allowing me to hunt fish and trap on his 300 plus acres. But he's kind of strange about things like this and I won't get him involved. The last time they got my tomatoes he was the first one to come see me as he knew that the wind was wrong. They also sprayed the garden of the landowner of one of his farms he rents. He frets over the most trivial things I know that this would just get him worked up again.
I's not his fault. He's not the one running the sprayer and I won't get him involved. Yes he could control when they spray but I'm not going to put that kind of pressure on him as he would just stress out about it. You'd have to know him to understand what I'm talking abut. If the elevator backed their sprayer over your pickup and totaled it would you still have the same feelings? You suffered a loss and until you make them pay with dollars they will continue to abuse you and your neighbors. Don’t complain if you are not ready to pursue remedy’s.
