  So you’re going to use an herbicide that is horrible for the environment to destroy some random farmers crop and draw a dick… Wow real cool joke man.

      Rule 2 - Your question cannot be illegal I think you don’t understand what the community is for.

  This violates rule 2. Bioterrorism is not funny.

    Last I checked hypothetically asking the likelihood of getting away with a crime is not an “illegal question”. Dont even get me started on the snoody oversimplification of “Bioterrorism is not funny”.

  They would definitely notice. Modern farming equipment is way more technologically advanced than most people think it is. I used to work for a company that manufactured the electronics for farming equipment; it was usually some of the most high tech stuff we built and we also made the boards for medical equipment. So even if the farmer didn’t notice, their equipment definitely would. Specifically, most new crop sprayers and fertilizer spreaders will actively monitor soil nutrient levels and crop health to determine exactly how much of whatever they’re spreading needs to be spread in each location. Patches of crops hit with weed killer would definitely start throwing up some red flags in that software. You’re far better off just making old school crop circles with a plank on a rope.

  Now as far as morality/legality goes, this would definitely be vandalism and depending on how many crops you destroy likely even a felony. Crops are insured so you really wouldn’t hurt the farmer too much. However you would incur the wrath of an insurance company. So if you value your financial well being and staying out of prison, I would not mess with a farmers crops.

  You have any idea how much Roundup costs?! Just cut the plants down instead of spraying them.

  The people downvoting this are fucking idiots. There are NO stupid questions.

    Yeah, no. Sometimes there are. Especially when they propose something illegal.

      Nope, its a hypothetical. They asked a real question, with no implication of actually carrying out the action. The question is how likely you would be to get away with it. Hypothetical questions about illegal activity (especially one as obviously not serious as this) is not a stupid question, or one that should be frowned upon.

  Sure you could. You might even get away with it once. Given their investment, I’d imagine that most farmers now have pretty good security systems. I’m certain that most farmers back home would figure out who did it, then take care of the problem.

  Illegal or legal aside, afaik nowadays most of these crops are made to withstand certain herbicides. That’s the whole business strategy of companies like Monsanto/Beyer, innit?

    Withstand weeds and insects and fungi - not resistance to artificial chemicals.
