U.S. House Removes Key Pesticide Provisions from 2026 Farm Bill, Impacting Farmers
CropLife America (CLA) has expressed disappointment following the U.S. House of Representatives' decision to remove several key pesticide provisions from the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026, commonly known as the farm bill. The organization, which represents the agricultural chemical industry, argues that these provisions are crucial for farmers to manage weeds, pests, and diseases effectively. CLA President and CEO Alexandra Dunn stated that the removal of these provisions could lead to higher food costs, reduced availability, and decreased domestic production, thereby undermining U.S. food security and the agricultural supply chain. The opposition to these provisions, according to CLA, is based on misinformation about their purpose and impact, often propagated by groups not invested in the success of American farmers.
