Excerpt from Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations for 1995, Vol. 2: Hearings Before a Subcommittee of the Committee on Appropriations, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session; Agricultural Programs; Agricultural Research Service, Cooperative State Research Service; Extension Service There are many crops that absolutely depend on methyl bromide. If we don't have methyl bromide as a soil fumigant, we'll not raise strawberries in some areas of the country. Tomato production will be severely depleted. And so it's frightening to think that we won't have this tool to use. In post-harvest, we use methyl bromide as a post-harvest treat ment because it's demanded by many countries that import our products, and so we use it to guarantee that the products we send them do not contain disease organisms and insects.
