Wisconsin bean grower seeks paraquat aid to speed harvest
Dunn County bean farmer Russell Doane and four west central Wisconsin growers seek state crisis exemptions to spray paraquat on about 700 acres of red kidney beans. Doane argues the chemical boosts harvest speed and reduces costs, noting 25 percent of national red kidney beans come from his fields. Government inspectors monitor drift with detection pads as crews prepare aerial applications amid restricted-use rules and weather cautions.
