Spencer,
That is not an "approved" thing to do. The chemical is supposed to stay
in the field and on the crop. I would imagine he was applying fungicide
to corn. And, No, you are not immune from toenail fungus.
Cecil Monson was delivering a power takeoff gearbox for a Willys to me
from Mike Sloane when we met at LeSueur. I think Cecil had a brother
that farmed near Austin, MN and he put together my stuff and a family
gathering alone with attending the swap meet. He was tickled that he
found some part he had been missing for one of his tractors at the meet.
