Off-Label Spraying

On yesterday’s program we heard from Dustin Morton, commercial horticulture specialist with Alberta Agriculture, about off-label spraying, what it is and why it’s dangerous. Morton says it’s important that growers know that the Pest Management Regulatory Agency, or PMRA, which regulates the use of these types of products, does do random inspections. He explains how the inspections work and the implications of spraying off-label.

Video: Safety is No Accident


An accident involving farm equipment can change lives forever. Please watch for orange triangles indicating slow moving equipment. Be careful when passing, farmers driving large equipment may not always see your car in a blind spot, or they may need to turn into a field that is not at an intersection. And be patient. An extra minute of your time could save lives and prevent serious injuries.
