NAAA recently submitted comments to the EPA for two different herbicides. The first was directed towards the registration of epyrifenacil, a new herbicide for use as a pre-plant burndown herbicide for agricultural use in canola, field corn, soybean, wheat, and fallow land. It will also be labeled for some non-crop sites, including guardrails, railroads, parking areas, road surfaces and shoulders.

The hard-copy book chronicles the agricultural aviation industry’s growth from its birth in 1921 through the boom times after World War II, and on to today’s modern era of high-tech aerial application.
Rising health insurance premiums have become a significant concern for both individuals and employers across the country. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits are set to expire, which could lead to significantly higher premiums and healthcare costs. As the ACA tax credits expire, we recommend pricing Decisely’s options—even if you already have in the past—because they may offer more competitive rates under these latest circumstances.
