West Ky
Big shot farmer here who has lots of money was spraying his corn one day when the wind was blowing 30-35 mph with the wings tips up as high as they would go to clear crap around the outside edges. The guy sprayed right up to peoples yards etc. Anyways he killed 7 different gardens that day and one of them was a neighbor of mine and they made their living from selling vegetables off of it. (they were kinda poor) The farmer had the insurance company cut a check for $500 dollars to all of em except that one who made their living off their garden. I went over and looked at it and it was wilted pretty bad already and their yard was dieing also.
It ended up being a long drawn out process with lots of threats by the millionaire farmer and phone calls with breathing into it as intimidation from his sons. They wanted 5000 for their garden and it was a pretty good sized garden. Dude wouldn't pay that so his lawyers got involved and they (poor folks) ended up only with $500 and ended up moving away.

This guy truly does have all the officials in his back pocket like he told them. He still continues today to spray with the booms up and has killed pretty big sections of my yard as well. Also when he sprays he doesn't use but about 5-7 gallon per acre. Thats what one of his hands told me. They have lots of acres to cover, I don't know how he gets such a good kill on everything so he must poor the chemical to it.
