Certain pesticide chemicals used to control weeds are not eligible for cost-sharing use by farmers under the Agricultural Conservation Program (ACP), according to Chairman H. S. Barksdale of the County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee.
He urged farmers who have signed up for weed control practices to check with their county ASCS office before buying or using any chemicals to be sure they are within regulations.
Chemicals which no longer can be used if the federal government is sharing the cost of the practice under ACP include trichlorobenzoic acid (TBA a n d Trysben 200), polychlorobenzoic acid (PBA), sodium chlorate for spot treatment on fallow land, and picloram (Tordon).
Registration of these chemicals for the above uses was discontinued by the U. S. Department of Agriculture when no requests were received from manufacturers for continued registration. Chairman Barksdale said USDA officials are working with State and county ASC committees to find suitable substitute chemicals for those no longer eligible for use in ACP cost-sharing practices. “To be on the safe side,” he said, “use weed control chemicals you know are approved for use under ACP cost-sharing. A phone call or a visit to your county ASCS office before you start is your best assurance.”
