Field Burning Back, Greatly Reduced
Item: Field burning is back, greatly reduced/Mike Prager, SR
More Info: A dramatically reduced level of field burning got started on the Rathdrum Prairie in North Idaho on Wednesday but was shut down when the smoke failed to rise above ground level, Idaho officials said today. At least 50 acres of bluegrass were burned before officials ordered the fires extinguished, said Ralph Paul, air shed coordinator for the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality in Coeur d’Alene.
Question: Do you even notice that the grass farmers were burning their fields this year?
