That all depends on the crops and chemical programs IMO. I would not trust someone to mix chemical batches without years of experience, but with some supervision I would have no problem having her run the sprayer.
She could always start with the pre emerge pass... Pretty low risk of crop damage if someone is helping with the chemical mixing.
Shock horror I blend my own loads every time I load. Have done since the day I was hired on , would you trust your hired man to spray ?
I actually prefer to blend my own loads then I know I have the right stuff on the right crop .
If you have wheat stubble to spray that's a good place to practice , after the first spraying she could just follow the old wheel tracks for the second and third pass of the year .
Would you turn your wife loose on a 80ft sprayer?
