Victoria Pike: Be wary of telemarketers bearing cheap pesticides She didn't take their offer. Instead, she contact the State Department of Agriculture and found that others had received similar calls. Suggest others report similar calls to authorities Comments re article 59181 Nick Roy cautions farmers on telemarketers and pesticides By Victoria Pike I was awakened by a call this morning of this nature. They told me I had filled out a card requesting information on a broadleaf herbicide. I insisted I hadn't and she went on to tell about it. Sounded great, killed everything but the good stuff. Being a weed fighting farmer, I didn't think such existed. The price was about $150 a gal. but would let me have it for $100. Being a bit suspicious, I asked for a name, number, website and company name and told her I would read on it. After putting the name of the product in my search bar, I found others had received such calls and one state's department of agriculture had posted a warning that it wasn't registered for sale in their state. Also it was not for use in pasture fields as she had told me. Beware if you get such a call. I contacted the KY Dept. of Agriculture at 866-289-0001 and asked to speak to someone in the outdoor pesticide/herbicide division. They will take your complaint. Now I am off to fight weeds the old fashion way with my trusty sprayer and chemical I know works. Happy farming all. --Victoria Pike Comments re article 59181 Nick Roy cautions farmers on telemarketers and pesticides This story was posted on 2013-04-26 11:33:06
