As for farmers and drift - if I bought a property next to a pig farm I would know enough not to complain about the stench of pig manure. Likewise, if I own a property next to farmers who spray things like Roundup, I would have factored that in before agreeing to purchase the land.


True to an extent, but the practices of farming change over time, a few years back farmers did not spray w roundup like they do now. So someone who has owned property for years may have not have those problems before now. Also, sometimes you buy a property only to find out later that someone is putting in a pig farm or such. I feel that if a farmer wants to spray roundup, he needs to find a way to reasonably contain it to only his own property and he should be held responsible for damages to other's property.
