Helicopter ID

[Carey]

I understand all of the crime stuff & such, but the ONLY time one of those helicopters was harvesting anywhere near here, it was in one of the large landowner lots over a year ago.... & got me thinking.... What grower in their right mind would plant on their own land (I do realize that some of them are NOT in their right mind).... I would guess (this is a wild guess - no facts at all) that most of the harvesting done is on land that is not owned by the grower, and probably a lot of that is vacant "investment" land.... without a caretaker looking after the land.... if so, what is the loss to the grower? a few hundred seeds? What is the loss to the landowner? ARE THEY RESPONSIBLE? ( in the case near our house, I would hardly think that anyone would hold this landowner responsible)

So basically my guess is that most of the harvests are just to weed an absentee or large landowners property, probably at no cost to them for ALLOWING this to occur on their land, and the main cost of a few hundred seeds for the grower, unless they are dumb enough to own the land or be on the property when there is a harvest & get caught....

So how many harvests actually catch someone? How many of these harvests are just weeding operations & truly a benefit for a landowner that is not supervising their property? What is done to a landowner that has repeat weeding on their lands?

Me thinks that most of this is just a way for some pilots & others to get extra money to weed someones lot (I'm gonna even guess that some of them are doing this on overtime...esp. Maui Cty pilots - but again this is JUST a guess, no facts on this that I have been able to find), and of course annoy a lot of people - but we do not count in this!
