The densely populated coastal regions of the United States are some of the most difficult areas to practice commercial agriculture anywhere in the world. This is not from adverse natural factors, such as extreme weather or crop pests, but rather from an intense and aggressive regulatory climate. Throughout these regions, the use of agricultural chemicals, field labor, and a multitude of other essential farm inputs are continually scrutinized by county, state and federal governments. Agribusiness companies interact constantly with government inspectors who work to ensure compliance with numerous laws that are often confusing and many times open to the interpretation of the individual field inspector. Any disputes are resolved by an arbitrary system of intra-agency appeals.

Pacific Ag can assist with compliance matters through our network of experts and businesses with similar challenges. Our professional consultants focus on compliance with laws relating to the use and storage of agricultural chemicals, control of field effluents and water conservation mandates, as well as domestic and import tolerances of pesticide and fertilizer residues in commercial products. Usually in just a few minutes, we can give you realistic perspective on your issue, sound business-to-business advice on how to comply with the law, and what resources are available to you in the event of non-compliance actions by the government.

Conflicts between agribusinesses and field inspectors are becoming increasingly frequent and farming companies must have fast and accurate advice on how to react to these regulatory challenges.
