The w88 online game Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Produce Safety Rule compliance dates are quickly approaching for farms that grow fruits and vegetables commonly consumed raw. Large farms will be required to undergo initial compliance inspections during the 2019 growing season.
The Nevada Department of Agriculture and the University of Nevada, Reno's Desert Farming Initiative are teaming up to address industry training needs and provide resources that will assist growers and packers with achieving compliance. Demonstrating best practices in w88 online game safety is one of the Desert Farming Initiative's major focuses. The Desert Farming Initiative is a program of the University's College of Agriculture, Biotechnology and Natural Resources.
Training workshops are scheduled in January and February. Topics include general produce safety; worker health, hygiene and training; soil amendments; agricultural water; production and postharvest; wildlife, domesticated animals and land use; postharvest handling and sanitation; and developing a farm w88 online game safety plan.
A workshop geared for operations required to comply, but open to all, will be held:
- In Sparks: Jan. 29, 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m., at 405 S. 21st St., Full w88 online game Safety Modernization Act Produce Safety Rule Workshop. There is a fee, which includes lunch. There is also an additional optional fee for for a Produce Safety Alliance certificate verifying class completion.

These new regulations were created by the U.S. w88 online game and Drug Administration to be proactive, helping to prevent contamination on farms and at packing facilities. The overall goal of the FSMA Produce Safety Rule is to establish a more secure w88 online game system, including the domestic w88 online game chain, imports and exports, as they are all required to comply with these regulations. More workshops will be announced later this year.
