Our
new label allowing Dual Magnum over-the-top of emerged seeded and transplant squash
grown on bare-ground or in a mulch system has been approved for use in
Georgia. The label should be
self-explanatory….if not let me know as I was one of the authors.
Getting
Label: See steps
below on obtaining the label (this information has been provided several
times).
Grower Must Obtain
His/her Label: For
years we have stressed the importance of growers having a copy of our state
local need (SLN) indemnified labels when making applications. This is getting
more serious as the Department of Agriculture has started asking to see these
labels doing routine visits; this is simply a response to the sheer volume of
state local need labels we now have for Georgia growers. To drive the point home here is an e-mail from
GDA a few weeks ago “Dr. Culpepper, If you
talk to any grower groups regarding any SLN approvals, please remind them that
they must keep or present the SLN label for our inspectors during an audit or
it is a label violation. Our inspectors find many individuals that cannot
produce an SLN label during farm inspections.”
Thanks,
Eric Olsen

OBTAINING LABELS FOR
DUAL MAGNUM OR REFLEX:
Consider
helping your growers by asking them to come in and visit with you to get their
label. This is a great opportunity for young/new agents to obtain face time
with our clientele!!
Agents MUST NOT give growers any indemnified label or
make any verbal recommendations until the grower has the label. Agents can help growers through the process
but must make sure the grower clicks the “I ACCEPT” liability waver when
obtaining the label.
Obtaining
the label for First Time (first time takes a couple minutes, thereafter very
simple):
1. Go to www.farmassist.com
2. Register the grower (or if you want a label
register yourself); “register” is located on the 2nd tool bar in top middle of
page. After filling in information;
click I accept at bottom.
3. The next page that pops up asks about you;
you do not have to fill this out if you do not want.
4. Select products along top bar.
5. Select indemnified labels (4th
one down).
6. For state, select Georgia and for
product, select Dual Magnum or Reflex (play around and see our other
labels) and then submit.
7. Select the Dual Magnum or Reflex crop of
interest and submit.
8. Accept waiver; this is the process making
the label an indemnified label. GROWER MUST CLICK
THE I ACCEPT KEY TO GET THEIR
LABEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
9. Print label and have present during
application.
