[QUOTE="db-2, post: 223556, member: 4743"] Had a guy who bought some trimec. Called and asked if he was to dilute that before putting on. Now is watering his lawn. When I was in southern MN back in the 70. Banvel would hang and then drift with the wind. Insurance paid more than once. I do understand the seriousness of this. When all we had was 24-d and would use the ester stuff I think about how little concern we had for our own health. I got the job as a young kid putting it into the tank while it fill. Would end up on hands and even now I still do not use gloves and have had chemical spill on hands with no water to wash off. More than once I would bring the fumes in when the wind was right. I am sure way over spray as I have found that I must put at least 2 quarts of round up on to a acre on the food plots with a number of spraying. Rate no matter what is 2% for me which I am sure is too much. Biggest abuser I am sure are us homeowners. Not sure why we do not have to have a certificate to purchase. As time goes on I feel the farmers and ranchers will find different ways to take care of the land and chemical and fertilizer will be used less and less. Happening all ready as I have a handful now putting two crops on the same land the same year. db [/QUOTE]
