Act now! Or this may be the only
pest control tool you’ll ever use again!
Because the Environmental
Protection Agency is reevaluating
the pesticides you count on to
run your farm, keep bugs out
of your house and weeds out
of your garden
Soon, you could begin to lose
some of the most trusted insecti-
cides on the market today
Because EPA isn’t asking
you—the farmer—or other

Americans how you actually
use these pest control products
Without accurate input, the
new Food Quality Protection
Act cannot be fully and
fairly implemented
So what?
So you lose many cost-
effective pesticides—the tools
you depend on most Fewer
products lead to less IPM and
less conservation tillage Pest
resistance rises Yields drop
