<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#212121">It is such a disservice to natural resource managers that fear mongering over the word "pesticide" leads ill-informed groups, townships, etc to consider
banning pesticide use; and what wise expert decides what constitutes an "emergency"? I have also heard proposals to use steam to kill weeds, not mentioning that the steam will kill unsuspecting insects, amphibians, birds and other wildlife that happens to
be at the receiving end of the boiling water.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#212121">Pesticides that are available for our use have gone through years of testing and research and are licensed by the EPA and State Departments of Agriculture
for specific uses and application rates, as noted on their labels - which constitute federal law under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, Rodenticide Act or FIFRA. Most of the problems we hear in the media are caused by individuals using pesticide products
in violation of the label instructions, which is a criminal act; i.e. recent bumble bee kill in Oregon. An herbicide probably used in your town for broadleaf weed control, 2,4-D, just celebrated its 70th birthday and the sky did not fall. If you want to
be concerned about chemicals, take a look at the label warnings on cosmetics and the cleaning products you have under your sink.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#212121">I am attending the Trilateral Conference (Canada, US, Mexico) in San Diego, CA as I write this, where I just gave a presentation showing how we are
restoring milkweed and other wildflowers to benefit Monarch butterfly, bees, birds, and other pollinators using herbicides judiciously applied to control invasive plants and problem species. We need to restore millions of acres of prairie habitat in North
America over the next few years to insure the survival of Monarchs, native bees and songbirds. Herbicides are a "tool in the tool box" to allow successful habitat restoration to occur. So to you and others on this list serve, do us all a favor and speak
out against unnecessary bans on the use of pesticides, and only use them according to label instructions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
