AmericanHort Backs New Legislation for EPA Chemical Standards

AmericanHort joined 35 agriculture organizations in a letter supporting the Sound Science for Farmers Act.  The legislation ensures accountability, stakeholder outreach, and scientific quality for EPA assessments, risk evaluations, and regulatory actions. Key provisions of the bill aim to address concerns about the lack of rigorous interagency and peer review of EPA chemical assessments, which can result in costly regulations for farmers and producers.
