CDFA ANNOUNCES VACANCIES ON THE FERTILIZER INSPECTION ADVISORY BOARD

SACRAMENTO, July 5, 2018 -  The California Department of Food and Agriculture is announcing three vacancies on the Fertilizer Inspection Advisory Board. The board advises the Secretary on the department’s Fertilizing Materials Inspection Program, which ensures fertilizing materials are safe, effective, and meet quality guarantees.

As part of the Fertilizing Materials Inspection Program, inspectors and investigators located throughout the state conduct routine sampling and inspections; respond to consumer complaints; and enforce laws and regulations that govern the manufacturing and distribution of fertilizing materials. The program is funded by fertilizer license fees and assessments.
 
The term of office for board members is three years. Members receive no compensation, but are entitled to necessary travel expenses. Applicants must hold a current fertilizing materials license or be a representative of a licensed firm.
