Keep treated seed away from harvested grain

The American Seed Trade Assocation cautions farmers to keep treaded seed separate at harvest. 

President & CEO Andy LaVigne says treated seed allows farmers to use less inputs, reduce costs, have less impact on natural resources and non-target organisms, and producer higher more consistent yields. 

The organization is reminding farmers to take precautions to ensure treated seed does not enter the grain supply to minimize the risk of pesticide exposure to humans and the environment.

All treated seed should be removed from containers and equipment used to handle harvested grain and disposed of properly.
