🚜🌾 Public Notice: Wheat Field Burning Season 🌾🚜

As wheat harvest season begins across Sampson County, residents may notice smoke from fields throughout the area. Many local farmers utilize controlled burns to remove crop residue and prepare their fields for the next planting season. These burns are a common agricultural practice and are typically conducted under controlled conditions with careful monitoring.

If you see smoke or a field being burned, there is generally no cause for alarm. However, if you observe a fire that appears to be spreading beyond the intended area, threatening structures, or appears to be out of control, please call 911 immediately so emergency personnel can respond and assess the situation.
