LANDOWNERS THAT OBJECT TO BALLOONS LANDING ON THEIR PROPERTY ARE ENCOURAGED TO SET OUT A MARKER THAT THE BALLOONISTS CAN SEE AND AVOID.
HOWEVER, FLYING IN AN AGRICULTURAL AREA, ESPECIALLY ONE SUPPORTING LOTS OF DAIRY FARMS, BRINGS THE RISK OF COW PATTIES AT THE LANDING SITE. MUCH WORSE WOULD BE LANDING IN A FIELD LIKE THIS ONE. IT HAS BEEN FRESHLY SPREAD WITH MANURE FERTILIZER.
