EPA’s Herbicide Strategy & Proposed Mitigations on Agricultural Herbicide Use
We Need Your Input!
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is seeking public comment on its Draft Herbicide Strategy Framework to protect threatened and endangered species. The Strategy outlines proposed mitigations on agricultural herbicide use that could have significant impacts on production of field crops and specialty crops in the lower 48 states.
The Arizona Pest Management Center will submit comments to EPA to communicate the challenges and potential impacts of the proposed Strategy on our agricultural industries, but we need your help.
We need input from growers, applicators, pest control advisors, registrants and others on the feasibility of EPA’s proposed mitigations for Arizona production systems. If you are concerned about EPA’s proposed changes and willing to share your knowledge of what works in Southwest agriculture, your input could help make a difference.
Please consider responding to our online survey by clicking the link below. The survey takes around 12 minutes and is completely anonymous. The data you provide will only be used in aggregate to communicate local farming practices and concerns related to herbicide mitigations to the EPA. Taking this survey is also a good way to learn more about EPA’s specific proposed changes. Please respond by October 19.
