EPA Checks Insecticides Off The To-Do List
Manage episode 483721829 series 2908402
The EPA’s herbicide and new insecticide strategies dictate if, how, and when a farmer can use these chemicals on their farm. Any time a crop protection product gets reviewed or renewed, the EPA can determine if "mitigation measures" need to happen on the farm in order for the grower to use it. Today, we hear from Maryland crop farmer Lyndsey Thompson about how the new strategies have impacted her family's business to date. But first, CropLife America President and CEO Alex Dunn says farmers should know that resources are available to help them navigate any changes to pesticides. First, Dunn gives us some background on why these strategies came about. This Washington Watch news update is brought to you by the Wisconsin Soybean Association, dedicated to ensuring policies are in place for the future of soybean farmers.
