CROP RESIDUE BURNING ADVISORY (MR 77/93)

 

From November 16, 2006 through July 31, 2007, daytime burning of crop residues and non-crop herbage is permitted from sunrise to sunset of each day.

 

Nighttime burning of crop residues is banned year-round.

 

Producers are reminded that safe burning practices, including adequate fire-guarding and proper supervision, must be followed.  Smoke from any crop residue fire must NOT obscure any public roadway or create problems for neighboring residents.  Tickets can be issued for burning in an unsafe manner.

 

Any permits issued by local authorities are required.
