I worked for electric coop for 40 years, much of that time responsible for right of way maintenance. Herbicides are an essential part of that program to keep costs down and reliability high. In Oklahoma we have the right and in fact the responsibility to maintain our rights of way but we always notified landowners prior to spraying to ensure they were good with it. If you operate an organic operation, the state has a database that utilities use to avoid these areas.

When I called them they didn’t seem to know.

if you saw a paddock of horses did you still spray?

This is a post to warn people thinking of buying property next to property lines.

Gotta ask. How do you buy property, that’s not next to property lines?

[Cord]

Yes we would spray with farm animals in a pen or pasture.

I have property, with a utility line going right through the middle of it. Know how i keep them from spraying? I maintain it so they don’t have to. Simple

[Emil]

It pretty much looked maintained. It’s not my property.

Agree this is best course!

I’m in the database for Michigan.

Good to be aware of this.

Transmission towers .

The DOT in Michigan respects do not spray signs, don’t have to worry about power lines.

[Emil]

Thanks.☺️

[ChiHomestead]

I think we will put these up also! Anything to stop the chemical contamination!

We maintain the right of way as well. It’s the simplest way to make sure it’s not sprayed. They even told us that we could plant what we wanted to there. Not that we do. But it is extra space to plant when needed

[Emil]

I guess it depends on the state. Good to know. Thank you. ☺️
