Attention Non-GMO Soybean Growers

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proceeding on the path toward cancellation of the pesticide for Carbofuran, which is marketed under the name Furadan. It may be in additional chemicals/pesticides. Please monitor active ingredients in current chemicals/pesticides that you may already have purchased.

Beginning immediately, ZFS is asking growers to discontinue use of this chemical on non-GMO soybeans. If this chemical has been used on your non-GMO soybeans, please contact Dan Bailey immediately at (800) 748-0595.

A news release was posted on the EPA's Web site on July 24 explaining their actions. For more information, visit www.epa.gov.

ZFS appreciates your assistance and cooperation in this matter.
