ISSUE 1221

METHYL BROMIDE USE INFORMATION URGENTLY NEEDED

All FFVA producer members should have received a bulletin sent May 28 with an urgent request for information pertaining to their methyl bromide use during the 2007 control period. It is very important to respond to the survey enclosed with the bulletin if you anticipate needing methyl bromide in your operations. FFVA’s Environmental & Pest Management Division is in the initial stages of developing Critical Use Exemption Petitions for the 2011 use period. The division will assume that a lack of response to the survey will indicate methyl bromide is not needed.

If you do not receive the bulletin and survey in the next several days, contact Mike Aerts or Dan Botts at (321) 214-5200 or access both items online at www.ffva.com/epm.asp. The completed surveys must be returned to FFVA by June 18.
