Local attitude around here is everyone plants RR crops, period. WRONG!!
An entire field is harder to judge than a ruined strip, but you should be able to come up with a historical average or something.
Dad had 20 or so acres ruined in the last few years by "neighbors" who overlapped (someone's guidance system didn't tell them they were 100+ft. off) or sprayed their RR crops on a windy day when you couldn't keep your hat on your head. They will pay, and you'll need to know exactly what you're out, and you won't really know until it's harvested. This includes your replant labor, equipment use the second time over, fuel, replant seed, yield loss, etc.. Don't try to stick it to them, but don't shortchange yourself, either. If they or their insurance won't pay, or won't pay a fair amount, talk to your local county agent or state chemist.
You might get a hassle and a runaround from some people, but when someone's chemical application licenses are in jeopardy fair and reasonable compensation will be forthcoming. I would imagine a business would be easier to deal with than an individual in a case like this.
