Letter: County Spraying By Marie Freeman On my road today even with the wind the county sprayed in front of my house herbicide. I was in the backyard working on my tomato plants and I thought what is that smell. So I walked around the front of the house and they went down the road with the tank truck. It was so extreme I couldn't even stand in my yard and catch my breath! And now tonight my tomato plants are showing signs of herbicide damage. After researching online I'm under the impression that I shouldn't even eat my fruit now after months of work growing organically. The smell was so bad I couldn't even stand outside. I could taste it in my mouth! Is anyone else in the county experiencing this? Years ago I said not to spray, after talking to the magistrate I'm under the impression that I have to spend at least $50 posting signs to protect my property. I've lived here 30 years, 20 years of it at least there was no herbicide being sprayed near my property. It seems to me like there should be a better alternative. All my hummingbird feeders are in my front yard my peach tree my squash plants my natural spring. And after talking to a few of my neighbors... (I don't think he wants to share his name) he said his fish in his pond died one year when they sprayed! Surely there is some type of regulation on spraying with drift when it's a windy day. I was wondering if any other readers on Columbia Magazine had this experience in the county. And the strange thing is I don't see any reason to spray. The road is very passable. However where I pull out from my road on the Independence Ridge, I can't hardly see if there's a car coming it's so grown up. I realize that is state property. I looked it up online that is what has affected my tomato plants I'm sure of it is the herbicide. I had healthy plants this morning very healthy and now they're withering. I don't think this is a good choice as a county, what we're doing. This story was posted on 2022-07-21 07:25:17
