[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1823847, member: 24027"] We were supposed to have ours sprayed last Spring, but the weather conditions didn't cooperate. Goes back to what J+Cattle was saying. Even using a drift control agent, it was too windy to risk, even though any neighbor remotely close with cattle was okay with it. The only other property that is close is recreational (guy lives out of town & only uses it to hunt occasionally). A qualified pilot/sprayer doesn't want a lawsuit. Thought about spraying in the Fall but waiting until next Spring. That said, our FSA does cost share for spraying and we're working with a local agent that has been out numerous times and identified the specific weeds, brush, trees, etc. to target, along with a recommendation what to use. We've already paid for the chemicals: $485.00 for AirLink (2x2.5) Drift Control Agent $2081.25 for Triclopyr 4 (2x2.5) Herbicide $1228.13 for 2,4-D LV6 Alligare Herbicide $1159.00 cost share FSA $2880.13 our total. So far! I'm not actually sure how many acres that covers. The pilot has a map of the property and specific areas to target, making sure to stay away from water sources. [/QUOTE]
