Okanagan Tree Fruit Cooperative Newsletters can now be viewed on this website. The newsletters can be found under the “Newsletter” section.
As the 2012 growing season starts Field Service will start to add the weekly information to our new website. We encourage growers to check in frequently during the growing season to view the weekly updates.
This industry-run program allows growers to return obsolete pesticides (no longer registered, unwanted, expired, unusable) so that they are disposed of in a safe manner. The collection program only applies to commercial-class products and is FREE of charge. The Collection Campaign will be delivered in the Okanagan region in the fall of 2012. Collection dates and locations will be announced soon.

Many growers have been asking about using electronic records. You can use any form of record keeping as long as you document all the required information. The OFFS Program record forms are now available in PDF fillable format. Visit our OFFS Forms page to get yours. Remember, a huge component of your On Farm Food Safety Program is keeping records.
If you have any questions or need some help using these forms contact me at 250-826-5043 or at mmonroy@bctree.com. I will be happy to help you.
