Problems Plagued

Department Of Agrculture's

Grasshopper Control Program In 1979


The 1979 grasshopper infestation in 17 West-
ern States was the worst since the 1930s. The
Department of Agriculture's program to con-
trol the grasshoppers was not effective because

     --it was badly managed,

     --it was not adequately coordinated
     among Federal and State officials and
     local ranchers and farmers, and

     --spray aircraft sometimes were not avail-
     able when needed.

The Department's Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service is taking action to avoid
such problems in future programs.


This report says the Department needs to study
whether future programs should include crop-
land and whether participation by all land-
owners in a control area should be mandatory.
