Agriculture Advisory Committee · 2026-05-18 · agenda_item

The Agriculture Advisory Committee of Seminole County is reviewing potential changes to Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) pesticide licensing and testing. This item is currently pending review. The scope of work would involve updating regulations and testing procedures related to pesticide application. This could lead to new requirements for training, certification, and record-keeping for individuals and businesses involved in pesticide use. Local businesses such as those providing training, testing services, or compliance consulting could find opportunities as these changes are developed and implemented. Engaging with the committee early in the review process may offer insight into upcoming needs and allow businesses to prepare for potential shifts in the industry.
