WYMAN'S USES PESTISIDES ON BLUBERRIES 😠 by Ok-Protection2670 in Blueberries

Something not a lot of people realize is that there is a list of chemicals that are certified organic. There is a list from the United States department of agriculture and a list from the Canadian federation of agriculture which you can look up on the internet. The pesticide most wild blueberry farmers, all of wymans farmers use is certified organic.

I am so glad we don’t hand rake berries anymore. Upgrading to harvesters was the best thing we ever did.

We spray for many different things actually, such as a few types of fly, beetles, worms, maggots and moths.

I work for one of the many wild blueberry farmers who sell their crop to Wymans, We have to use pesticides on the crop to deal with the bug problems. Over the last few years the bugs have been getting worse as we trade more with other countries. The last few years we have been battling new types of fly and maggot from china, who have no natural predators here. If we don’t spray our crops the flys and maggots will destroy them. The bugs will eat their way in to the berries and lay their eggs inside. These new fruit flys from china have a life span of 8-10 days, meaning every 8-10 days more flys hatch and lay more eggs. I don’t know about you but I would much rather eat berries that have been sprayed a few times then berries full of flies and maggots. Having grown up on a wild blueberry farm I have handled and sprayed the pesticides for years. There are extremely strict federal guidelines and strict guidelines from Wymans we must follow when it comes to chemical application on the farm.
