NAAA has partnered with Kynetec on the “Aerial Application Operations and Industry Practices Survey” study, and we urge you to participate if you receive an email. Please assist us with information regarding the acres, crops, and pesticides you applied by air for them. It will be used to protect our industry from proposed aerial application bans, burdensome regulations, and threats to your safety. The results help keep aerial application on pesticide labels for which EPA is considering a complete ban or severe restrictions.
