Environment Minister VVilliam
Newman and his deputy Everett
Biggs are to be congratulated for
taking a second look at new
pesticide regulations as • they
affect the casual farmer:spray-
operator, Gordon Hill, president
of the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture says.
(New regulations under the
Pesticides Act were introduced
this spring. This week the
Ministry announced it will
temporarily waive Ontario regula-
tion 618-74 pending further
study.)
"The OFA recognizes the
serious consequences that can
result from misuse of modern
chemical pesticides and herbi-
cides, Hill said. "For this reason,
we support stringent pesticides
rules.
"However, it now appears that
farmers who have regularly
sprayed three or four neighbour-
ing farms will give up this limited
custom work. Too much time,
effort and cost is required to
become licensed."
The , net result of this wide-
spread farmer attitude will be
more weeds and lower crop
,yields, Hill pointed out.
"Our executive and our Pollu-
tion and. Pesticides Committee
vall resume study of the regula-
tions and will help the Environ-
ment Ministry develop criteria
and define a new category of
casual farmer-spray-operator,
Hill said.
"in the Meantime, we applaud
the' Ministry's decision to
temporarily suspend. Ontario
regulation 618.74 and return fees
,to those farmers who have
lalready applied for licensing."
