Pilot knows he is spraying fungicide all day.  Farmer Bob sprays Quilt.  Farmer Joe sprays Headline.  Farmer Fred sprays Approach.  Pilot lands a dozen times to load, always in a hurry and is looking at his maps and such while the tank fills.  Why is is so hard to believe that off the top of his head he can't remember specifically what he got loaded with at 10 am when he's sprayed 9 loads since on many different fields?

 Sorry attempt at  "excuses".  Does not match OP description of "pilot had no idea what he was spraying until he talked to the coop."

"Woman doing chores in barnyard" surely is off label for targeted pests for Quilt.  Which chemical may have he thought he was spraying which includes "woman doing chores in barnyard" as targeted pest and location?

The fact that she was sprayed is evidence that the pilot's procedure was bad.  Excuses only compound the problem.  It sounds as if THEY were professional enough to not offer them.

Why was the company/pilot concerned that they may be turned into the state?  For what?  If there was no wrong it would be nice to have it cleared up quickly and completely.  I believe filing that report would be the proper way to document what happened and hold the company liable for possible complications in the future.  If there was no wrong, there should be no worry.
