Updates to TDG and anhydrous ammonia-specific training. Regular alerts through member exclusive communications; urban creep.
- Fertilizer: Changes to the Ammonia Code of Practice. Significant changes to the B620 and B622 standards that govern anhydrous ammonia nurse tanks. Negotiating variances to Manitoba nutrient application restrictions.
