CHICAGO, 111. _ Leaders of
the Cattlemen’s Beef Board and
the Beef Industry Council (BIC)
of the National Live Stock and
Meat Board have reached an
agreement concerning the conflict
of interest issue.
The agreement modifies the
process by which Federation of
State Beef Councils representa
tives are elected to the Beef Pro
motion Operating Committee, the
body that contracts with existing
national, industry-governed or
ganizations to carry out coordinat
ed programs funded by the beef
checkoff. The Operating Commit
tee is comprised of 10 representa
tives of the Beef Board and 10
representatives of the Federation
of State Beef Councils.
The agreement was unani
mously approved by the Beef
Board directorate at its recent
meeting in Tampa, Fla. The BIC
Board of Directors will vote on the
agreement at its next scheduled
meeting, to be held August 14,
1993, in Chicago.
Under the terms of the agree
ment, two of the federation’s posi
tions on the Operating Committee
will continue to be filled by the
BIC chairman and vice chairman.
The other eight representatives
will be elected by the Qualified
State Beef Councils (QSBCs) in
stead of the BIC. Those eight
members must be members of the
QSBC Board of Directors, and
may be members of the BIC Board
of Directors. They may not be

Poor sprayer cleanup is respons
ible every year for thousands of
acres of crop damages and need
less hours spent on frustrating
cleaning of plugged screens and
nozzles.
Even though all chemical labels
must indicate the correct cleanup
method, the number of sprayer op
erators actually performing the
proper procedure is certainly less
than it should be. The methods can
be both labor intensive and time
consuming.
In addition, the label procedure
generates large amounts of con
taminated wastes (often as much
as twice the sprayer capacity),
without properly addressing their
disposal because of either vague
or unknown (to the operator) local
regulations.
For 1993, Hardi is introducing a
Flush & Rinse™ system for its
Trailer Model sprayers to assist
the operator with the proper clean
up of the equipment and disposal
of rinsates. The Hush. & Rinse ™

mary purposes:
1) Flush the pump, controls,
self cleaning filter and spray lines
should the spray task be interrupt
ed with spray solution still re
maining in the tank. This must be
done to avoid residue buildup and
possible plugging of nozzles,
screens and spray lines while the
sprayer stands still.
2) Rinse the sprayer tank be
tween tank loads of different
chemicals, or at the end of the day
or season. Residues of chemicals
from a previous application can be
retained on the sides of the tank or
in the spray lines and can cause
damage to die next crop sprayed if
not properly removed from the
sprayer. This is a particular point
of concern with the new highly ac
tive low rate chemistry introduced
over the past few years.
Preliminary investigations in
the field and under controlled lab
oratory conditions show that the

In addition, the Flush & Rinse™
system encourages the operator to
spray the diluted rinsates over the
crop where in fact the product
should be applied, provided this is
allowed by local regulations. The
enrivonmental impact of rinsates
is therefore limited compared to
current methods. The operator
will spend much less time with
this simple but effective cleanup
procedure, and operator exposure
because of cleaning is greatly re
duced.

BIC officers have recognized the
need to address this issue,” said
Mardie Hanson, a Colorado
rancher and newly elected Beef
Board chairman. “We are confi
dent that the new election proce
dure, when implemented. Will re
solve the matter.”
The Flush & Rinse™ system
consists of:
•A 53-gallon (for 500 and 650
gallon trailers) or an 80-gallon
(for 800, 950, and 1000-gallon
trailers) front mounted tank to car
ry the rinse solution
•A set of (2) 360° rotating rins
ing nozzles to spray the interior of
the tank and remove the residues.
When in the flushing mode
(spray lines, pump and controls),
fresh water as a cleaning agent is
generally enough. In the rinsing
mode, however, manufacturer’s
recommended cleaning agents can
be used to provide a more thor
ough rinsing, in particular for
those hard-to-remove herbicides.
