The Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection is the State lead agency for enforcing state and federal laws related to pesticides. These include standards for the packaging, labeling, storage, use and disposal of pesticides and their containers. The Agricultural Resource Management Division is the Division assigned to these responsibilities. Besides pesticide regulation the Division is also responsible for enforcing the state’s feed and fertilizer laws. The Division responds to and investigates over 200 complaints a year related to our programs. The largest area of complaints does relate to pesticide use.
