Andy Dunham of Grinnell Heritage Farm and Rob Faux of Genuine Faux Farm helped to compose this letter with Linda Wells of the Pesticide Action Network. We sent this, along with a cover letter to every known CSA in the state of Iowa in hopes that they would also share this with their CSA members. If you think that this is not an issue, consider this - we have already been called by FOUR different growers in the Cedar Valley area who have experienced spray drift and misapplication issues this year. In two cases, crops were damaged by herbicides and are a complete loss. In another, a person was hit with spray and had to deal with some physical issues. Please consider following up on this.
