Moving due to pesticides

Okay well i have spoken to many experts all of whom have bben very helpful. What i did lack to tell you is my dog recently died from lymphoma which is linked with a herbacide 2,3-d . I have contacted the farmer who is renting the field behind our house. He took over in march and he told me he sprayed the field in april. But he was reluctant to tell me with what and now there is no communication.
My dog got seriously ill with 3 weeks and died 3 wks ago. she was 7yrs old. so has been cut short of her beautiful life. So from april to june she contracted tumors in her stomach and intenstine that both ate through the linings which we could not altecate in anyway so sadly had to let her go. The vet has told me for this damage it would have taken between 2-4mths ???? does it make any of you wonder? Yes the condition is genic and she did contract pancreitis somewhere along the lines but it was manageable i feel it was the contact with the herbicide/pesticides that increases her illness to it severity.
There is a potatoe crop growing this year in the field. Potatoes are the most profitable source to the farmer and also the economy. The enviroment of health told me that farmers have to contact neighbours of the fields if they spray with sulphate but with other pesticides they can use without knowledge.
I have no evididence only facts. My other half has never been so ill since we have lived here. Very bad hayfevver, asthma my children suffer too with breathing problems and eczema. So with my facts and knowledge of the whole situation and lack of eveidence to do something positive i feel i have no other choice then to try and move to another area a built up area away from the vunerability of the fields.

With all the rain we have do you really think farmers would spray water?

I recently lost my dog to lymphoma. He'd been walked in crop fields for the last 5 years and was also 7.

That's just around the age they get it I think.

I'd say enjoy the countryside!!
