tbird: I do see where you are coming from, and your desire to have that perfect stand of grass. I can also see the use of chemicals as a tool to achive what you are trying to do.

I am 62 years old and probably sprayed my first chemicals around 1960. In the past 44 years I have sprayed a wide variety of the ag chemicals on the market. I have used chemicals that even minimum exposure of my flesh to the chemical, could be lethal. I was spraying one day and watched my neighbors cat walk across the treated field, the cat didn't make it. A classmate of mine in high school died the victim of cancer. While no one ever pointed a finger, he told me on his death bed, he always had a gut feeling there was a relationship to use of a certain chemical. I have forgotten the exact name of the chemical, but remember at the time it was not a restricted chemical.

At 62 I now wonder if some of the ailments I now suffer from are related to my use of chemicals, or was it tractor fumes, or was it silo gasses, or was it methane and other gasses from livestock, or is it the depletion of oxygen caused from burning fosil fuels, or was it smoking? Who knows, probably a combination of all. I do have a pesticide license which allows me to apply just about any ag chemical going. A number of farmers know this. Can they hire me? The answer is yes if they wish to pay me the going rate for a Corperate Lawyer. If farming would I still use chemicals? Yes it would be a business decission.

From my perspective when it comes to my home and surrounding grounds or as a hobby the answer is NO. Corperate America don't care what these products may be doing to us, all they can read are dollar signs. I hope you can understand where I'm coming from. I certainly hope no one has to suffer ailments I see amoung some of my former farmer colleagues, just because they didn't like clover or dandelions.
