Mother Nature has a way of keeping us on our toes!

If you don't see our sprayers out today, it's not because we are taking the day off. When conditions are too wet, windy, or otherwise unfavorable, spraying can be less effective and increase the risk of off-target movement. Our goal is to make every application as safe and effective as possible.

So what are we doing instead?
✅ Cleaning equipment
✅ Calibrating sprayers
✅ Performing maintenance

A little preparation now helps ensure we are ready to go when the next spray window opens.

We know w**ds don't take a day off, and neither do we. Every weather delay is an opportunity to make sure our equipment is operating at its best and ready for the job ahead.
