@aboveaverageaveragejoe Back in the 1960s the minnesota DNR used agent orange as brush killer. It was being used in vietnam as a defoliant so was readily available. My father was a forest ranger that worked in beltrami county out of bemidji. All of the members in his crew (7 men) contracted pancreatic cancer. My father was thd third person to do so. The symptoms were identical to the first two men so he was referred to the mayo clinic where he was one of the first people to have his pancreas removed. He survived. He had to take insulin and an enzyme called viocase. It was quite expensive. He was studied by the government for the rest of his life. The other members of the crew died. He died from an aortic aneurism in 1986 after falling out of a deer stand.
Farmers used it to remove brush by roads and fences and wild rice producers also used it for killing weeds. Up at federal dam they flooded the rice fields with the poison laden water then released it into leech lake. It was soon discovered to be a mistake as it wiped out walleye feeding grounds on the north east side of the lake. The residue from agent orange does not break down quickly. It remains in the soil and likely will be an issue for many years. Agent orange was identified as a source of numerous cancers and was found to accumulate in the fatty tissues of fish and farm animals such as pigs. Cooking and eating these contaminated foods would in turn accumulate in humans and eventually lead to brain and pancreatic cancers.
Minnesota consequently define agent orange as cancer causing but the federal government refuses to do so as it would open itself to litigation.
