I screwed up

[RTK]

I agree if you notice that you drifted onto a neighbours field - you need to tell your neighbour and take it from there... given the area involved here it is pretty simple offer to pay for damage; I personally would just ask you to remember this in the event that I make the same mistake another year. I do not drive around the country to look if I drifted onto a neighbour because I never spray in a situation I think could cause harm to a neighbouring field - therefore if a neighbour notices something I do not - I want him to call me and I would head out and look and then discuss it with them and arrive at a solution.

Admitting to a mistake or accident is the best way to go, it with sit better with your conscience.

One time I hit a neighbors crop as it was just peaking through the ground. We didn't really get along that great before and I was alittle apprehensive. But I went and saw him and told him we were seeding the field I had burned off the next day and I would reseed as far into the field as there was damage. He grumbled and agreed. It was the best crop by far on his farm. He was happy and it didn't cost me much.

I agree with the other posters. Make a call. Offer to make it right in the fall. Best for everyone.

Remember the wind blows both ways.

I have a neighbor who is a huge loose cannon. Unhinged. Hes attacked people. Hes taught me insurance every time baby. CYA. Carryover next year??? Signed releases.
I also have a neighbor seems to get away with anything he wants. Luckily old fencelines still intact there.

I would want a neighbor to tell me so I could learn from it as well as look each other in eye later.
