Dear Speaker Johnson, Leader Thune, Leader Jeffries, and Leader Schumer,
We write to express our great concern with recent misinterpretations of long-standing policy regarding the regulation and labeling of pesticide products, as some states have begun to regulate pesticides in a manner contradicting decades of scientific guidance from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Lack of certainty on EPA-approved, science-based nationwide labels will erode access to current and future pesticides, threatening crops and farmer incomes, conservation practices, public health, vital infrastructure, and ultimately raise food prices for families amidst high inflation.
