Agricultural Owner Exemptions
Owners of agricultural establishments and members of their immediate families are exempt from many WPS requirements. The requirements and provisions that do apply to owners of agricultural establishments and to members of their immediate families include employer information exchange, restrictions during handler tasks, restrictions during applications, and restrictions during restricted-entry intervals.
The WPS does not allow any exemptions for persons who operate or manage but do not own an agricultural establishment. Agricultural owners must provide all protections required by the WPS to persons who are not members of their immediate family.
The EPA encourages owners to provide themselves and their families with all of the WPS protections.
