Yes! We Can Make A Difference
We are each aware of the need to get out the “Good” word about pesticides and aerial applications. However, in most cases we are preaching to the choir, ourselves! Although, much progress is being made with the school programs teaching kids about ag aviation.
The vast majority of the American population is urban. Therefore many people probably aren’t getting our message. Most ag applicators simply do not have the time or expertise to address civic clubs and preach on-the-stump about our industry. But, there is a way to make a difference. At AgAir Update we have developed an idea that each of us can participate in with little or no effort and yet make an impact on Americans nationwide.
Every newspaper is always looking for newsworthy and interesting information they can publish with minimum effort, i.e. no reporter or research cost. Submissions with reprint permission always generate interest. Therefore, AAU has gathered all of its “Spreading The Facts” articles and placed them in this handy folder. Whenever you want to refer to environmental facts or pass this information on to teachers and newspapers, all of the information will be easy to reach.
Watch the “Spreading The Facts” section in AAU for more information you can update to this file. This section contains positive, documented information everybody needs to know! We’ll construct the article where you can photocopy it, including the reprint permission statement, and mail or fax it to newspapers. It will be reprinted in many newspapers educating the public with “Spreading The Facts” about ag aviation and pesticides.
• Photocopy It
• Mail or Fax It To A Newspaper
• Educate The Public!
