COLUMBUS, Ohio It may
be fall, but it is still time to
spring-clean farm sprayers.
Now is a good time to make sure
sprayers and other equipment
used to apply pesticides are
cleaned and ready for another
season.
“Clean sprayers are key to
proper pesticide management,”
said Joanne Kick-Raack, coor

Pennfield Transfers Commodity Trading
Division To Perdue Farms
LANCASTER (Lancaster
Co.) Pennfield Corporation
and Perdue Farms, Inc. of Salis
bury, Md. have reached an
agreement to transfer the busi
ness of Pennfield’s Ag Ingred

Commodities.
According to Robert J.
Buehler, senior vice president of
Pennfield’s Ag Products Divi
sion, Perdue assumed all com
modity trading activities and
obligations of Pennfield’s Ag
Ingredients Group Oct. 2.
“Perdue is a world leader in

Clean sprayers reduce poten
tial crop injury from residual
pesticides left in the sprayer, she
said.
Keeping sprayers clean also
keeps them in top condition as
pesticide residues can corrode
equipment and clog nozzles, said
Kick-Raack. She recommends
throughout the United States,
Canada, and Mexico,” Buehler
said. “Although Pennfield’s Ag
Ingredients Group has been a
successful part of our company
for the past three years, we rec
ognize the benefits of it becom
ing part of a such a larger and
established operation for our
customers.
“This was a great opportunity
for both Perdue and Pennfield,”
said Buehler. “Perdue can
expand its commodities trading
with our former customer base
while Pennfield can concentrate

cleaning sprayers immediately
after each use and at the end of
the spraying season. Sprayers
should first be flushed and
rinsed, inside and out, with
water to prevent the accumula
tion of pesticides.
In addition to the first rinse
with water, the sprayer may
need to be flushed with a clean
ing agent because some herbi
cide residues can cling to plastic
the feed and livestock nutrition
business.”
Buehler also noted that Mark
Jakiel, former manager of Penn
field’s Ag Ingredients Group,
has joined Perdue and will be
headquartered in a new Lancas
ter based office.
All existing trading contracts
with Pennfield’s Ag Ingredients
Group will be assumed by
Perdue Commodities. Corre

tanks. Kick-Raack recommends
the following guidelines taken
from “The Ohio State Univer
sity Weed Control Guide for
Ohio Field Crops:”
• Partially fill the tank with
water and add household am
monia (one gallon per 100 gal
lons of water) or a commercial
tank cleaner. Complete filling
the tank with water, then flush
the cleaning solution through
the boom, hoses and nozzles.
• Completely fill the tank
with water again and allow it to
agitate for at least 15 minutes
before flushing the boom, hoses
and nozzles and draining the
tank.
• Finally, completely fill the
tank with water again and flush
the tank, boom and hoses for
five minutes.
• Nozzles and screens can be
cleaned separately and bare
metal parts should be stored
over the winter in oil.
“Clean the equipment on a
pad or impermeable surface so
you can recover the rinse water,
which is also called rinsate,”
said Kick-Raack.
The rinsate legally can be
used if it is labeled for the in
tended application crop and the
amount of pesticide in the final
mix doesn’t exceed label rates
for that acreage, she said.
Ideally, a pesticide loading,
mixing and cleaning area could
be built to collect water runoff

and avoid contamination, she
said. Plans for building such an
area are available from county
offices of Ohio State University
Extension. If a cleaning area is
unavailable, it may be easier to
manage rinsates by taking clean
water to the field and cleaning
empty equipment at the applica
tion site.
“Clean sprayers in an area
where there is threat of runoff
entering a waterway or well,”
Kick-Raack said.
Also avoid cleaning sprayers
in the same field location multi
ple times. Over time, the sur
rounding area could become
contaminated with pesticides.
“While cleaning the sprayer,
be sure to wear personal protec
tive clothing and equipment,”
Kick-Raack said. Cleaning still
presents a risk of exposure to
pesticides similar to other pesti
cide handling tasks. When
cleaning a sprayer, wear the per
sonal protective equipment the
pesticide label requires for han
dling jobs, plus a chemical
resistant apron.
For more information about
cleaning sprayers and other pes
ticide application procedures,
guides are available at county
offices of Ohio State University
Extension. The weed control
guide also is available on Exten
