Eradication Status

The following counties in Oklahoma are still in an active eradication program and any farming or harvesting equipment moving from these counties to the remainder of Oklahoma should obtain a certificate from the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture stating it is weevil free. These counties are: McCurtain, Choctaw, Bryan, Atoka, Marshall, Carter, Coal, Johnston, Love , and in Stephens and Jefferson counties, east of Highway 81. The remainder of Oklahoma, besides the aforementioned counties, is designated suppressed.

This would also apply if the equipment is being moved into a suppressed zone in Texas. As it stands now, the Northern Rolling Plains and the Panhandle zones in Texas are designated as suppressed. Equipment and cotton may move freely between a suppressed zone in Texas and the suppressed part of Oklahoma.

Any questions relating to this matter may be directed to OBWEO at (580) 726-4280.
