Hello all, especially the board.

I would really appreciate finding out ahead of time when the field will be sprayed this season - at least a couple of days ahead of time.
Many don't believe that "Roundup" aka Glyphosate is harmful, but the fact of the matter is that, even Monsanto themselves (the manufacturer), have finally agreed to label it as a carcinogen.
Many European countries and Russia have banned it. You probably heard of the major bee die-offs that have been directly associated with it as well.
Anyways, all I am asking is for a schedule, or a heads up, before the spraying so that I can avoid the field until a few days after and not bring anybody I am responsible for (most importantly - my children).
Thank you for your understanding.

Hi Eric,

It seems like a reasonable request.  Just to clarify, you are talking about the surrounding crop field.
Let us check with the landlord to see if they can give us a heads-up or at least put up some small signs post application like you see  on some urban lawns.

Thank you,
Graham

Notice to everyone who shares Eric's concern, the field crops were sprayed yesterday afternoon.
