Ag Board Rules Out Summer Brush Spray
The State Board of Agriculture in its March 12 meeting barred the use of phenoxy herbicides like 2 4 D and 2 4 5 T by commercial air and ground sprayers in Harmon County from April to October. Ranchers using their own equipment on their land are not affected. Proposals to extend bans to Blaine and Canadian counties were rejected for now, leaving open action if future damage occurs. The decision reflects concerns over brush and cotton coexistence and aims to reduce crop injuries while keeping potential measures ready.
