DriftWatch makes good neighbors

Ten states including Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska and Wisconsin are part of DriftWatch. Developed by Purdue University, DriftWatch is a registry designed to help pesticide applicators and specialty crop growers communicate more effectively to promote awareness and stewardship activities to help prevent and manage drift effects. The data set is overseen by state-appointed stewards who verify each area submitted to the registry. Ann Marie Ames coordinates the program in Wisconsin.
