AmericanHort has recently signed on to this letter to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) about concerns to a recently proposed herbicide use strategy. The letter highlights concern with the complexity of the proposal; the lack of compliance options for producers/applicators; the financial cost of proposed conservation practices; the anticipated harm the proposal will inflict on producers, agricultural communities, and the environment; as well as ESA and FIFRA statutory concerns with the proposal. The letter also advises EPA to use better data upfront as opposed to relying on overly conservative assumptions, which would help alleviate jeopardy risk concerns for species, so that the agency may better work with stakeholders to develop more reasonable solutions for those species genuinely of concern.
