September BQA tip: Be aware of herbicide and pesticide restrictions

Herbicides and insecticides are applied pastures to control weeds and insects. When using these pesticides it is important to read and follow label directions for grazing and haying restrictions. Additionally, only products that are labeled for use in pastures and hayfields should be used. Labels for many of these pesticides can be found at cdms.net/label-database.  Are you a certified Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) producer?
