Sorghum producers applaud emergency exemption for LumaxKansas The Kansas Grain Sorghum Producers Association leaders say they are pleased with the Enviromental Protection Agency's approval of an emergency exemption that allows Lumax, a pre-plant herbicide, to be used on grain sorghum in Kansas. KGSPA submitted a letter supporting the exemption and worked with the interested parties to obtain the emergency exemption. Jere White, KGSPA executive director praised EPA for their action. "This is a case where we took a weed control issue to EPA, and the agency listened and responded," he said. White reminds growers that this is an emergency exemption, and requirements must be followed. "You can't just go out and use Lumax for grain sorghum," White said. "This is an emergency exemption and there are very specific requirements a grower must meet. In fact, before the producer can even get a copy of the label, he must register and accept a liability agreement for this product." Date: 5/25/06
