Florida is looking forward to being your host for the 65th Annual Meeting of the Association of Southern, Feed, Fertilizer and Pesticide Control Officials (ASFFPCO).

It is my privilege to extend an invitation to you and others within your organization to attend this meeting. The purpose of the Association is to promote uniformity in legislation, definitions, standards, rules and regulations governing the enforcement of laws relating to the manufacture, sale and use of pesticides, fertilizers and feed. This meeting has become a place for control officials, industry representatives, chemists and inspectors to discuss the many issues that have an impact on our states.
