If the weeds in the corn field are not up, many farmers are spraying Surestart II. Has Surpass and Hornet in it. The Hornet can for sure drift and for sure smoke any broadleaves it comes into contact with. The surpass will do nothing on grass that is growing. That may be why you see only activity on broadleaves and nothing on grass..... Sorry Stu! Thanks for the info. Think my trees have a chance?Not if it was Hornet drift. I would ask for the farmer or coop's spray records for the day if it was me. Have the MDA Chemical inspector for your area take a look. Its free. app.gisdata.mn.gov/mda-aci/ |

I do have to ask you why you have apple trees that close to a farm field not under your control?

Just wait until the new Dicamba beans start getting planted in the area and the guy sprays with the wrong tip.....EEEEK!  |

Well, I'm now thinking I didn't get hit. I do have at least one tree that really looks like it got hit, but there are other possibilities for why it looks that way. Some of the other trees I was worried about appear to be okay.

Some of the other trees I was worried about appear to be okay. I had a tree that I thought got hit last year, but it came out of it. This spring, the same tree looks sick again and I had tried to topwork it. I wonder if it is on a clay pocket and gets too wet as compared to trees 15 or 20 feet away. |

My tree is definitely not in a clay pocket, but I won't be surprised to find below ground vole or gopher damage if/when it dies.

My tree could be choking from reed canary.
Has anyone seen gophers dig in RC?
