Protected Agriculture Stewardship Registration
All Protected Ag Operators using closed loop chemigation systems (i.e. recirculation system) are referred to as Category 1 PA Operators. Category 1 PA Operators must register in order to start the process. Once registered, materials will be mailed including a copy of the Standards and information about Auditors.
All Protected Ag Operator NOT using closed loop chemigation systems (i.e. recirculation system) are referred to as Category 2 PA Operators. Category 2 PA Operators must register to be added to the waiver distribution list.
NOTE: For Category 2 this registration page should be completed by a manager or someone with authority to complete the waiver.
Organizations that have multiple Category 1 PA locations that have any or all of the following are subject to an assessment:
- Have a closed looped chemigation system;
- have a defined storage area for pesticides;
- have a defined pesticide mixing/loading area for closed loop chemigation systems.
Each different location (address/land location) will be treated as a separate assessment and a separate certification number will be issued. Please register each location separately to ensure access to an Auditor.
