I regularly see my local council on quad bikes with a giant resiovior of herbicides and the user spraying the sides of the roads. Apparently the destruction of the enviorment is a fair price to pay for no long grass on the verge
Live ina rural area, lots of broad acre gaemibg, during potato season a helicopter witha giant bucket flies around dropping fungicide onto the potato crops to fight blight.
On another note, giant trucks full of fertiliser drive around the fields with a spreader on the back distributing fertiliser. To grow grass watered by massive pivot irrigarions fir cattlw (dairy and beef) and for silage thwb teucked aeoubd the state. The massive relase of NO2, a 300x climate CO2e gas and pollution of the waterways with run off is a no fucks given moment to behold
