Grasshopper and cricket suppression

PORTLAND, Ore. — A federal court in Oregon ruled that, at the end of this year’s spraying season, Montana and Wyoming’s findings that no significant environmental impact would result from spraying pesticides across the states’ rangeland to combat crickets and grasshoppers will be vacated. A 2019 environmental impact statement that both sides of this dispute agreed to is not vacated, and the states and federal government must work with two nonprofits to develop a new environmental impact statement within two years.
