Some good questions to ask onn JUL 23:

Since  within Dane County herbicides are being used in urban parks (municipal, county and state), some so small that they are surrounded by residences:

* In which North American cities have certain or all herbicides been banned?

* Which Dow herbicides have been banned? why?

* How does the City of Middleton manage its parks for invasives without the use of pesticides?

And so forth.

Can you really expect them to give accurate information ? Call be skeptical but I have some difficulty in believing those who are clearly biased about their products.

Would someone be willing to take notes and post a summary on the listserve?
 
I probably won't make it but I agree that a good showing is important to demonstrate that us natural areas managers are industry partners. I met with Byron and reps from the other companies and they were surprised by how interested  us tree huggers are in herbicide info.
