Canadians Encouraged To Order Takeout

COVID-19 has had a major impact on the food service industry.
 
That's why every Wednesday has been declared Canada Takeout Day.
 
David Wiens is vice-president of Dairy Farmers of Canada.
 
"We really encourage people to go out, support their local restaurants because there are still many that are open for takeout...So that they will be there for us after this pandemic runs it course and is over," he said. "It's just one way of working together with those that we've worked together with for many years."
 
Wiens encourages Canadians to order take-out all week long, not just Wednesdays.

Dicamba Returns for Georgia Farmers: What the New EPA Ruling Means for Cotton Growers

Video: Dicamba Returns for Georgia Farmers: What the New EPA Ruling Means for Cotton Growers

After being unavailable in 2024 due to registration issues, dicamba products are returning for Georgia farmers this growing season — but under strict new conditions.

In this report from Tifton, Extension Weed Specialist Stanley Culpepper explains the updated EPA ruling, including new application limits, mandatory training requirements, and the need for a restricted use pesticide license. Among the key changes: a cap of two ½-pound applications per year and the required use of an approved volatility reduction agent with every application.

For Georgia cotton producers, the ruling is significant. According to Taylor Sills with the Georgia Cotton Commission, the vast majority of cotton planted in the state carries the dicamba-tolerant trait — meaning farmers had been paying for technology they couldn’t use.

While environmental groups have expressed concerns over spray drift, Georgia growers have reduced off-target pesticide movement by more than 91% over the past decade. Still, this two-year registration period will come with increased scrutiny, making stewardship and compliance more important than ever.
