Governor Rudy Perpich said Minnesota will probably not seek to block federal forest spraying of 2,4-D in northern forests. He cited unanswered questions about toxicant levels in a two-headed calf and two rabbits while backing scientific monitoring and a cooperative Forest Service approach ahead of planned spraying dates in the Superior and Chippewa national forests.
