IADAVE - 12/11/2025 20:57 The neighbors are why I quit conventional. The drift and intentional spraying was taking about 6 percent of my crop. I actually had one agronomist tell me roundup would not hurt corn.



6% of your crop was getting killed by RUP drift?     That would be ~40’ dead all the way around a 1/4 section or 80’ on the two sides that border another field.  

 Were they spraying during a derecho???



I got smoked by a airplane spraying a field across the highway before, went 220 on one end and 50 along the highway, that was some ugly looking corn from the road,. corn is very sensitive to round up, Ive planted conventional many years since, but between some extra herbicide cost, insecticide cost and not being able to get some varieties in conventional I'm going back to stacked
