The Nebraska Farm Bureau says EPA’s pesticide proposal is an out-of-touch policy that could increase limitations and regulations on herbicides that have been proven safe and effective.
President Mark McHargue tells Brownfield producers would have to change certain agriculture practices to meet new label requirements, which would be based on a point system. “This is ridiculous. This is overreaching. It’s going to restrict the tools that are available for farmers or ranchers to use to control weeds and pests on their field.”
He says the proposal is not science-based and would be cumbersome for producers to follow.
