[QUOTE="Farmer Roy, post: 4271752, member: 71668"] Spray drift is a REAL & SERIOUS concern to us here, despite our larger areas / distances 24D & other "smellys" for example can drift for many miles especially in periods of inversion, creating havoc for cotton, legumes & other broadleaves many km from the original source All operators here are required by law to maintain a spray log of applications & climatic conditions. It is an issue the Ag industry takes very seriously. Spraying contractors carry insurance to protect them from potential litigation & most farmers carry public liability insurance as well. Firstly, have a quiet chat with your neighbour, they may not be aware of your concerns if someone is doing the spraying for them Secondly, maintain a diary yourself of the applications & environmental conditions, including wind speed, direction, temp & humidity. Dunno about Kansas, but here it is also relatively simple to look back at historical weather recordings to check wind conditions, direction etc. [/QUOTE]
