Hello-
I'm in pursuit of purchasing land. In inquiring about 2 sites, I asked the agent what type of chemicals has the farm land been exposed to:
PROPERTY 1 (51.33 acres): "recently exposed to Corvus, Atrazine, Roundup. Nothing in ground just on top. The chemicals deplete after one year."
PROPERTY 2 (19.4 acres): "recently exposed to
BICP II
Magnum 1.2
Simizine90- one pound per acre
Atrazine90 – ½ pound per acre
Fertizilier has been put down for next year’s crop"
My thoughts are to keep searching. Do you second that motion?
If you find a place with all the features you want (slope/a creek/outbuildings/woodlot/commynity/whatever) and it's been sprayed but you have time and money to do remediation, go for it.
Yeah. I would keep looking.
However, if you are looking at commercial farm land, I doubt you will find anything 'clean'.
"Deplete in one year" is a very doubtful statement. Certainly less effective, but not depleted.
If tou want to get certified 'organic', there will be a minimum 3 year wait, along with some expensive soil analyses along the way.
But keep asking for the chemicals. It is a really good thing when people ask, until the farmer realizes that his land has less value if he uses chemicals.
