[QUOTE="teslacoils, post: 7610688, member: 127792"] I wish you well in your quest for drift free living. My advice would be to identify and contact the farmer. We are, by nature, highly defensive so please don't use any tricky words. Just "Hiya, just a little note to say...." and stick to the facts. It may not have been them personally driving; and their employee will deny it I will presume. All you want is some extra care taken around your house. It's likely now that your brain will have tuned you in to the sound of vehicles working in the field though, so in return I'd suggest you take some comfort in living in a country with some of the strongest rules for farming, and a regime of extreme care when it comes to licensing products. If they were organic cabbage, I can say they would be sprayed just as much with organic products, and I can also say that if you had had a neem oil product drift over you that would be equally unpleasing. Having used certified organic insecticides in my garden I can say they still require care, and caused my eczema to go absolutely crazy. There is balance to be found here but you should not receive direct drift onto yourselves. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
