The following was reported: We live on a 50 acre farm, adjacent farm is owned by off site farm organization. At approx 8:45 am we had a helicopter pass by the back east side of our house about 100 feet away 15 feet off ground he was spraying a corn field. My wife and I ran out of our front door ,west side of house, towards our horses which were spooking from the helicopter ( running around frantically) after coming around the corner southwest of the house we were covered in a cloud of mist spray, we continued towards the horses to settle them,(they were 400 feet from the property line) we then went to the east property line to try and get the pilots attention, he saw me and continued spraying, all this time we were getting covered in heavy mist. We have a video of his last few minutes of flight and where he flies directly at us over our property at 10 feet off the ground. Our 4 horses were also contaminated, no visible symptoms, but BASF vet advisor said they could colic within 24/48 hours due to ingestion of pasture that was sprayed.
