Opposed to spray, but not because of hearsay, scare tactics By Jon Halsey Personal opinion/commentary Put me in the category of those adamantly opposed to spraying, however, the decision should be based on facts and not on hearsay or scare tactics. The National Pesticide Information Center is a collaboration between the University of Oregon and the US Environmental Protection Agency. Here is the their technical bulletin on the active ingredient of Crossbow: TriclopyrMy understanding is that Crossbow kills brush type pests and does not harm the grasses which overcomes one of my objections. I am still opposed to the general idea of spraying because of the "drift factor" and the resulting unintended consequences which government entities near and far are so (in)famous for. It is beyond my ken as to how the County has grown so large over the years that mowing is suddenly no longer feasible. I've searched far and wide but just cannot find all this additional land that seems to be causing the problem. Have we annexed part of Casey or Green? Perhaps Taylor has ceded part of their southern tip. To quote a famous CM contributor: "Inquiring minds want to know." - Jon Halsey Comments re article 61851 Clarification The Herbicide is Crossbow a Dow Chemical product This story was posted on 2013-09-12 01:56:54
