A North Carolina judge has ruled that regulators should fine Florida-based produce company Ag-Mart no more than $500 for exposing employees to toxic pesticides, instead of the $184,500 that North Carolina officials seek. The judge recommended dismissing more than two-thirds of 396 violations cited, saying almost all those stemming from alleged employment endangerment were based on a misinterpreted document. Officials said they will ask the North Carolina Pesticide Board to ignore the recommendation.
