Where I live I saw a plane making swoops into fields. Rarely a good sign. :evil: The plane was doing this over cotton crops apparently to defoliate the plants. It stinks! What is that stuff? What horrible things does it do to the environment, my family, the farmer, etc? Not that I can do anything to stop them. :x


Thanks

If you can't get the info directly from your neighbor I would call the Agricultural Extension office an ask them. There are rules to be followed when aerial spraying with reguard to overspray, wind, etc. Get involved and don't consider yourself powerless. You have a right to protect your family and your property.

Amen, Tony! And if you are smelling it, you're inhaling it, so you have a complaint! Stomp on those guys!
