Dan Schafer, a farmer in rural Princeton, checks his Hereford beef cattle grazing near Master’s Creek. Schafer said the animals were sprayed last year with a fungicide and then ate silage that had been sprayed with fungicide. He normally sells his beef to Tyson, but the company declined to buy from him after the spray drift incident. He’s facing a significant financial loss. The Illinois Department of Agriculture documented the drift and sent the aerial applicator a warning letter. Photo by Clare Howard
