The 2024 pre-harvest water rule
- Published 6 May 2024, effective 5 July 2024.
- Covered farms complete a written assessment each year they apply pre-harvest water to covered produce (other than sprouts).
- Five factors: water system, water practices, crop characteristics, environmental conditions, other relevant factors.
- Outcomes decide whether corrective or mitigation measures are needed.
