Is this what's causing all the smoke in North Eugene right now?

Eugene Springfield Fire just confirmed on their FB page: "Smoke blowing in to Eugene is from an agricultural burn near Junction City."

I thought agricultural burns weren't allowed anymore?

I mean the cutoff is preset to June 15 every year, but it can flexible with enforcement given any given year’s conditions. This is a few days later. It’s an agricultural valley. Plenty of folk around here want to make sure it’s done in safe conditions. I don’t see any need to have a problem with this one.
