I posted on this back in the summer after I watched a neighbor let their crap blow in our field, and I got flamed big time by some. Now everyone seems to be singing a different tune and all agree, it's wrong.
In a case where somneone mows into our field, it lasts until I plow it and then I make sure the dead furrow is on the outside of the field. If they dump onto our side, I push it back with the loader. I have also learned to just flat face the trees right on the line and make them look ugly.
If I see golf balls, I pick them up if I can afford the time and put them in my golf bag.
The last 2 years I've been taking the flail chopper and cutting around the outside of the fields to help maintain the fence row- chops up small trees before they become big trees. I'm also putting more effort into cutting back the overgrowth. It also chops up small plants planted by people over the line.
A few years ago we had a new house built, and when the guy did the landscaping he planted a row of pines a good 10 ft. into our hay field, and mowed around them. All the houses slong that side had been mowing out just as far, but I had just cleaned up the fence row and there wasn't any hay growing there, just weeds, so I let it slide. I saw the guy in his yard while cutting (and when I first noticed the trees) so I told him that those trees were in our field, and if he didn't have them moved before I plowed the field the next spring I'd plwo them under. No more warnings, one is enough. He claimed that he thought his yard went that far (all the lots are marked by white fenceposts) because everyone else cut out that far. I explained that they were all in the wrong and I was gonna fix that at a later date.
Came back a few days later while baling and he moved them- and put them within 5 feet of an under ground electric utility box. :roll:
The next year I saw paint and flags done by diggers hotline and the trees were moved again- and most of them were dead...
Been a good neighbor since. And all the neighbors on that side maintain the trees so they don't overhang too bad.

Today's Featured Article - Restoring a John Deere 2010 Diesel Tractor - by Jim Nielsen. Following seven years working in California's Silicon Valley, my wife, baby son and I moved back to Australia to retire. We bought a small 'farm' of about 50 acres near Bendigo, in the state of Victoria. I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
