"Clean Out" fees for 2011 Lemon Ag Services regrets to annouce that we will be forced to charge a $4.00 per acre "clean out" fee for any non Roundup Ready crop which is custom applied.  We hope this will not inconvenience most growers but the risk due of product contaimination and potential crop injury requires this addition fee.  Preemerge products will not be affected.  We realize that this fee could affect some seed purchase decisions and we wish to give you as much notice as possible.
