ST. LOUIS – Crop protection tools, including widely popular glyphosate-based herbicides, are critical for weed control and providing an ample and affordable food supply.
That is the prevailing sentiment in a survey from the Modern Ag Alliance, which gauged the opinions of farmers and the public on the importance of crop protection products and the potential impacts if these tools were litigated or regulated away.
“We’ve seen a wave of litigation against these chemistries over the last five to 10 years,” said Elizabeth Burns-Thompson, the executive director of the alliance.
