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." •", ;f4.; 39 co of sol 15 't L. sel • • 38 av wi • lbs Fe Tu con • , St 15 Th ste he • Sa we '" Ca 4 101 • off 10 of Gl aye 50.
