This require- ment was cbanged, and bas not as yet been put inta eff ect . We have had a number of enquiries from farmers re- garding the situation for 1976. If a farmer is doing custom spraying this caming year and bas oniy one sprayer doing the work, fie does nat require any form of license. However, it is recommended by Ministry of. Environment's staff that the farmer obtain a permit, so that they bave bis name on record and will be able tai send him pertinent information relating ta problems regard- ing certain chemicals, up-ta- date material a n praper spraying methods and other regulations. If a farmer bas 2 or more sprayers an the road doing custom spray work, he must have a license and this can be obtained through the Ministry of Environment Pesticides Contrai Field Offices. For this area- the office is located at 150 Ferrand Drive, 7th Floor, Don Milis, Ontario, Phone: 416 424-3000 Extension 202. We wauld encourage farmers who are doing custom spraying ta obtain a permit, even if they only have one sprayer daing custom work and in this way, it will provide you with information that you might require ta effectively carry out your job.
