NSDA would like to make sure producers are aware of the Nova Scotia Sonic Device Policy. This policy was developed by the Nova Scotia Department of Agriculture to provide recommendations on best practices for the use of sonic devices on farms for the purpose of protecting crops, while minimizing their impact on neighbours and the public. Sonic Devices are tools used to minimize wildlife predation on crops by emitting a loud audible noise that frightens wildlife away from the crop. This policy applies to all farms utilizing sonic devices on land in Nova Scotia for the protection of crops.
