Attention: Ms. Megan Stilley
Dear Ms. Stilley:
I simply forgot to record the event in question on April 191h. I have notified my service
company of this missing event and it will be recorded. The event was 3 hours and using 2
guns applied 10 lbs. of nitrogen per/acre to the area in question. The tenant did not plant
his beans, primarily due to the chronic rains we have had of late. It is so hard to juggle the
tenant's schedule with the regulations we have to follow. It was not my intent to cause a
problem, it just happened and for this I apologize. I had a family member with a terminal
illness who has just recently passed away. It has been a struggle to handle the farms and
family at this critical time.
I am in the process of cutting the trees on the lagoon and the hay. Once I have completed
these actions, I will send pictures to document these actions. I will evaluate the hay for
weeds after this cutting and spray for weeds as needed.
Please accept this response as justification for not levying a fine on my farm and also for
the written 30 -day response to this infraction.
Thank You
David Stocks
