[QUOTE="Dave645, post: 7923314, member: 55822"] We are by law are required to retain spray records, and if we were found in breach of not applying chemicals with regard to there label, then we will find our insurance will not cover us, we will alway leave a paper trail, and if we use the wrong product and it causes problems then it will be identifiable in the crop, so if it’s a food safety issue and we poison some people. The agronomist is not on the hook unless he made a mistake on his recommendation sheet. It’s all relative it’s all checks and balances, we all know the system can be abused, but having an agronomist say he is giving you safe and recommended application sheets is simple you then have to do the application and record it, if you fib and fake the application and use something not recommended and it causes problems with your crop the farmer is the one on the hook, and his insurance will run a mile and it will cost the farmer his shirt. agronamist have insurance cover, because mistakes can be made by anyone. As long as the agronomist is following the label and his recommendations also do then he has no liability over what the farmers or spray operator actually do. The net result is always for them to stand it unless the recommendation sheet was wrong. The only liability the agronomist has is to make sure his recommendations are legal, unless he is actually carrying out the spray operations. Adding your name to a check box on a sheet adds no liability to you, it’s a declaration that the farmer is taking professional advise. We would also need a check box say we follow recommendations if we breach that it’s all on us. [/QUOTE]
