Organic Farm Registration
In 1990 the provincial government, commercial sprayers, organic
growers and the SARM worked together to set up the Organic
Farmland Registration Program. This an ongoing voluntary
program wherein
all organic farmers are asked to register their organic
acres at their local rural municipality.
All organic farmers are encouraged to register their organic
acres with their local rural municipal office. Municipal
offices keep a record of all organically farmed land within
their municipality.
Commercial pesticide applicators will be asked to contact
municipal offices to obtain listing of land designated
as organic so
that they may take the necessary precautions to avoid spray
drift
onto such lands.
