Sadly, chemical poisoning/build up is all to real here. Mainly from the days of running pickups with the windows down. 24-D and Banvel seem to be the worst ones in this area. My own personal decision was to either quit farming or get out of the spray any way possible. Simply smelling "Agent Red" evokes nausea and shortness of breath. Even Glyphosate bothers me, and I'm not the only one.

I'm a big believer in no-till and necessary chemical use in general, but have come to realize the products we use are alot more dangerous than I realized as a kid. It was a hard lesson.

It is good that your rig works good for your situation, but don't underestimate how these things build up in your system.

Keep those charcoal filters fresh......
