Equipment Cleaning and Purging Log

Summary

Any equipment used for both organic and non-organic (transition, conventional, and buffer zones) must be thoroughly cleaned prior to use for any organic crop. Examples: planting & harvesting equipment, any handling, drying or roasting equipment, wagons and trucks, etc. Note: Some equipment (square balers, combines, etc.) will require a purge of organic crops after non-organic use. The purge is considered non-organic. This form may also be used to document the cleaning of feed storage areas.
