In 2007 the Idaho government invalidated field-burning laws that allowed farmers to burn farm residue. This practice caused much pollution and upset many environmentalists in the state.
Government officials, farmers and environmentalists recently negotiated new laws for field-burning to help improve Idaho’s air quality. The new laws went into affect this past fall and have been a great success thus far.
Environmentalists in the state say there has been a drastic improvement in the air quality in the last year. Field-burning is a popular practice in Idaho. In the last month alone 3,400 acres have been burned.
