Many ag groups are urging their members to submit public comments on the EPA’s draft evaluation for the potential effects of atrazine on threatened or endangered species which closes Friday.
Michigan Corn Growers Association executive director Jim Zook tells Brownfield EPA’s modeling for atrazine uses the maximum use rate for the product and is not reflective of real-world application.
“The loss of this would be an economic devastation to many of our corn growers, not only in this state but also nationwide,” he says.
