SENECA FALLS, N.Y.— Emissions control is a hot topic in the agricultural community.
Farmers attending 2010 Empire Farm Days, Aug. 10-12, will be able to learn more about the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency emissions control requirements (known at IT-4 or Interim Tier IV) that will take effect in 2011 for off-road diesel engines, such as those running tractors, combines and irrigation systems.
The daily panel discussions that will begin at 10:30 a.m. in the special events center will include:
• New York Farm Bureau Senior Associate Director of Public Policy John Tauzel
