"We
want to provide our elevators and
customers with a cost-effective
alternative that protects the quality of
grain and the safety of our working
environment." Mr. John Simons,
Marketing Manager of Crop Protection
Products, Cargill Limited.
"Protect-It
provides co-op members and customers with
an environmentally responsible,
cost-effective and easy-to-use solution
to insect problems." Garry Herman,
Crop Protection Director, Federated
Co-operatives LImited. Canada's largest
farm co-op.
"Controling
insects with malathion proved to be less
than totally effective and some of our
customers didn't like to see any traces
of chemical pesticides in our
products...DE proved to be totalling
effective at killing all insects...The
natural killing effect of DE does not
dissipate so the grain is protected as
long as it is stored...grain companies on
the Prairies are no longer using or
selling malathion and are now
recommending DE. "We
have not seen any negative effect on our
equipment and our grain cleaning
equipment does a good job of removing the
DE from the wheat before milling..."
