I keep a map on the computer. It lists field size, type of crop, brand and variety of seed and date planted and what herbicide it's designed for. We have so darned many varieties and types of GMO crops today that keeping good records is a have-to. I have a copy of the map with me when the field is planted and sprayed.
Spraying the wrong herbicide on the wrong field can wipe out the crop in the entire field, like spraying Roundup on non-roundup resistant crops or Liberty on corn that's not Liberty-resistant, and it does happen somewhere in the county every year. Crop insurance does not cover herbicide mistakes. Jim
