Pesticide plan takes effect in Jefferson County
The first pesticide management area in the nation covers Perry Lake and most of Jefferson County, affecting about 4000 farmers in Jefferson Atchison Brown and Nemaha counties. Atrazine use is prohibited within 500 feet of public water supplies and loading or mixing within 100 feet of wells, with broader limits on noncropland areas. The plan blends management practices education monitoring research and enforcement with state and federal monitoring of Perry Lake and the Delaware River system.
