– to report on the current status of where chemicals are used, what type of chemicals, how often;
– to report on the future plans about herbicide/pesticide use;
– to get a report on the risks to humans, wildlife, vegetation and soil posed by these chemicals;
– to hear about possible alternatives, including cost and practicality;
– open questions from the audience.
