Out of interest, what crops is your neighbor spraying?


Mainly mais as silage fodder for his kettle. It is the same big field
which adjoins our own land on two sides. Last year, half of the surface
was used for wheat. At the moment, a green fertilizer (either mustard or
rapseed) is starting to grow, as is now an obligation in France, as you
are no longer allowed to let the soil uncovered during winter.

Chances are he is spraying Glyphosate
