AmericanHort Supports Farm Bill Language that Aims to Preserve Science-Based Pesticide Regulation
AmericanHort signed a letter to House and Senate Agriculture Committee leaders supporting clarifying language in the House Farm Bill that reinforces state-level authority over pesticide regulation under FIFRA. Consistent federal and state oversight helps ensure science-based decisions, regulatory certainty, and uniform standards across jurisdictions. Allowing a patchwork of local bans could undermine integrated pest management practices, increase costs, and make it more difficult for growers, retailers, and landscape professionals to responsibly protect plants, property, and public health.
