regularly and there is almost always dandelion in bloom being dusted and
 sucking up from the ground what is there from previous planting."


Would it be a possible test procedure then to take a good sample of dandelion bloom from the fields in question and send them in to be evaluated for the presence of pesticides in the bloom?
