Why would antifreeze residue be any more dangerous than the residue from the pesticide it is mixed with? We have herbicides that sterilize the soil for a year or two already. I do not know what the life of antifreeze is after it is sprayed on plants and exposed to the elements. Does soil bacteria break up antifreeze like normal herbicides? I dont have an answer. I can see where enough antifreeze in the mix might make the plant leaves taste sweet enough for animals to eat them but Maybe the herbicide part of the mix would have a nasty enough tase to negate the tase of antifreeze. I usually winterize my field sprayer with ten gallons of regular automotive anti freeze. Expensive, yes but cheaper than a frozen sprayer. I run it through the 60 foot boom and onto the ground till it runs out. I have not seen the cats or any other animal try to lick it off the ground yet.

I had just talked my Dad into buying an old John Deere B with 6-speeds ahead and I was real proud of it, except it was a little smaller than the Case tractor that we normally
