I disagree, you don't plow, disc, make the soil erode, wash down into anothers land or pond, and have this expectation that you can do all of that, because the guy you are dumping on is expected to protect himself,(land or pond) from what you are doing and causing. I don't buy that for a minute, here or elsewhere.
So if it were so, I am responsible, with no notice or letter of intent by the person who is working that ground, to enter that 150' buffer as NYS DEC specifies for most other activity around a protected wetland, and install something to protect us from what they are doing ?
Ag work is not immune from restrictions around wetlands, mind you in this state at least a farmer can plant as close as he can get, but just go in there with a yellow piece of equipment like a dozer and move some dirt, DEC would stop you and fine the heck out of you.
Again, farmer rents the land, plants on it, creates a disturbance, sprays or whatever you want to include in the performance of the work, and any adjacent landowner must immediately, without notice, knowledge or a darned MSDS sheet, be responsible for protecting against, herbicide, pesticide and or erosion etc.? So in a sense if it was erosion, and I did not want the silt in my pond, caused by them, I am responsible for putting up a silt fence on their land to prevent this ? If said farmer made a mistake, say the operator had dioxin or some really harmful substance in that tank, for some darned reason, for the point of this discussion when the problem arises directly from their negligence, the adjacent landowner must be responsible for that too, according to this kind of logic. So is the adjacent owner now responsible for the clean up, no darned way he is !
And please pardon my rhetoric, where the heck do you guys come up with this stuff, honestly I'd like to know, ( please keep it civil, I'm not tying to argue or be confrontational, it is a discussion and nothing more )

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
