Groups Launch ESA Education Resource for Farmers

CropLife America, the Agricultural Retailers Association, and the Council of Producers and Distributors of Agrotechnology have released new educational tools to help farmers, ag retailers, and pesticide applicators understand and comply with pesticide labels that contain Endangered Species Act language. The resources include an introductory ESA 101 presentation and a series of short instructional videos that help explain how to determine if any runoff and spray drift requirements need to be met, as well as how to use the Environmental Protection Agency’s online compliance tools. “Our industry is committed to protecting endangered species and the ecosystems that we all rely on,” said Alexandra Dunn, the president and CEO of CLA. “By offering clear and practical resources for pesticide label compliance, we are showing our continued support for farmers and applicators who need to have reliable access to weed, pest, and disease control technologies to maintain productivity, responsibly and sustainably.”
