Recourse, there is clearly going to be a loss here from mis application. Today that loss is at the farmgate only. Other parties have their monies already.

Problem here is most companies sub contract this application. You have to talk to who you paid the application bill to, they are the responsible party. If they sub contracted it, it's their problem to recoup losses paid on claims to growers from the sub contractor not you.

Any chance of monetary recourse you better have a visual aid (drone pictures), yield monitor proof or have them weigh wagon it if no monitor. Once harvested the claim disappears into the abyss without both of these steps. Waiting and walking in post harvest upset might make you feel better, but the checkbook won't get any better.

I've worked in retail since the mid 90's and will tell you from my experience you will find a lot of people say that a claim like this is above their paygrade and the phone number you get will likely go to voicemail. Your local salesman likely isn't who is going to get this done.

Seriously, IF you want a chance at recourse, do not harvest without visual proof and yield verification and confirmation of issue from the supplier.
