So, on we go.<\/p>\n<p>Now, that same information is in the &#8220;<strong>Code of Federal Regulations&#8221;\u00a0<\/strong> <strong>Title 40<\/strong>, \u201cProtection of the Environment\u201d, <strong>Chapter 1<\/strong> \u201cEnvironmental Protection Agency\u201d, <strong>Sub Chapter E<\/strong> \u201cPesticide Programs\u201d, which has 30 parts and a 700 plus long PDF.\u00a0 Don\u2019t be confused by the fact that in the &#8220;Code of Federal Regulations Title 7 is also \u201cAgriculture\u201d the same as in the \u201cUnited States Code\u201d as far as I can tell that is just a coincidence.<\/p>\n<p>So, what have we learned? The law is 100 pages and that translates into 700 pages of rules.\u00a0 All to try and sell you a product that is also used as a dietary supplement.\u00a0 Anyway, I think that the 700 pages were written to make the 100 pages easier to follow.\u00a0 Hum.<\/p>\n<p>Ah well, that is business in America.\u00a0 Hopefully this little photo of a beautiful water drop will cheer you, as it does me.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I am going to continue to slog through the label and begin to record all the information that must be on the label for Diatoms to be sold leagally.\u00a0 The motivation seem reasonable, products should be labeled accurately.\u00a0 Fine, no problem \u2013 reading and understanding the rules.\u00a0 Minor problem.\u00a0 This is going to take [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-204","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-early"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.okragardensupply.com\/learn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/204","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.okragardensupply.com\/learn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.okragardensupply.com\/learn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.okragardensupply.com\/learn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.okragardensupply.com\/learn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=204"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.okragardensupply.com\/learn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/204\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.okragardensupply.com\/learn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=204"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.okragardensupply.com\/learn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=204"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.okragardensupply.com\/learn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=204"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
