Atrazine has been around the farm for 80 years. Its use is now restricted to very low applied concentrations, specific applied areas and is only used as mainly a partner or enhancer of modern chemicals. The old farmers would talk about atrazine salesmen drinking it in a cup of water to show how safe it was. My creeks and ponds are still a nice blend of male and female frogs and toads. My 6 yr old and I catch them often and look forward to next weeks county fair and the frog jumping contest! The slow lazy frogs come from the ponds. If I can catch a grass frog for the contest it is a sure winner.
