It turns out this particular herbicide is the most widely used of its kind in the world. Just in our region (FL,AL,GA) it is used at 0.5-2.0 pounds per square mile of farm land per harvest season. Overall pretty safe. Glad to see our tax dollars being used keeping our community safe with ECFR and ECEMS up all night.
Thanks North Esacmbia.com good coverage I come here for most of Escambia’s news.
Send it by train, next time.
hazmat 14 enroute!!
