Field inspectors with the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry are again taking to the back roads of Southwestern Oklahoma to monitor unauthorized use of 2,4-D and other phenoxy herbicides that can cause serious damage to such growing crops as cotton and vineyards. Larry Buchwald, left, and Josh Branch are ODA pesticide field inspectors who live and work in Southwestern Oklahoma. Persons applying pesticides from May 1 through Oct. 15, 2009, in the five southwestern Oklahoma counties of Greer, Harmon, Jackson, Kiowa and Tillman, may be checked by either of these ODA personnel.
