Being a good neighbor with pesticide applications means thinking first, about what your pesticide application might do to harm to your neighbors’ crops. This is not only good citizenship, it is also the law. Pesticide labels state that you must make every effort to reduce the risk of drift to non-target species, and there are state laws that require some pesticides not to be used after certain dates to protect the crops of others. Always read the label of any pesticide before you use it and consider what may be downwind from you that may be harmed by that pesticide application. Making good pesticide application decisions will help reduce your risks of off target herbicide damage. Failing to make good application decisions could make you financially liable for any harm that you do. So how can we utilize the agricultural production practices we need to be productive, and at the same time do no harm to our neighbor’s livelihood?
