NAAA Participating in EPA & Congressional Staff Education Event in June

NAAA will participate in a congressional staff and an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) demonstration event on June 11-12. The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) is organizing the event, which will take place at Bunker Hill Farm in Newberg, MD.

Along with NAAA staff, NAAA operator member Glenn Martin of Helicopter Applicators Inc. in Gettysburg, PA, will provide a helicopter and staff at the event. This is an excellent opportunity for NAAA to educate policymakers on agricultural aviation’s importance and environmental benefits.

The event offers EPA and congressional staff the opportunity to see the helicopter used for aerial applications and other farm equipment and technology up close to learn how the latest ag equipment, crop inputs, data, and technology work together to drive agriculture’s tradition of producing more with less.
