Hear from a farmer: Blake Hurst—a Missouri row crop farmer—shares why access to proven crop protection tools is critical to keeping his farm productive and sustainable. 🌾

Affordable groceries start with strong farms.

As food insecurity rises and families continue feeling pressure at the checkout line, policymakers should focus on strengthening the systems that keep food available and affordable — starting with the farmers who grow it.

Farmers need reliable tools and science-based certainty to protect their crops, maintain yields, and keep food on America’s tables.

Farmers depend on crop protection tools to keep yields high and our food supply strong. Just as importantly, they depend on the EPA’s science-based process to ensure those tools are safe for farmers, consumers and the environment.

An independent, thorough review benefits us all and reinforces the trust farmers and families place in our regulatory system.

From bread to cereal, wheat is part of everyday life for American families. But misleading claims about the role of pesticides often leave out important context.

Wheat farmers use crop protection tools to manage weeds and help keep wheat affordable and available.

Safe, affordable, and abundant food depends on a strong agricultural system, from research and regulation to the farmers and producers who put food on our tables every day.

Supporting farmers means strengthening the systems that keep our agricultural economy strong.

American farmers grow more than what ends up on our plates. They grow the crops that help fuel our cars, clothe our families, and power rural economies.

Protecting access to crop protection tools helps farmers continue producing the food, fuel, and fiber our country depends on.

Hear from Missouri farmers:

From rising costs to feeding a growing world, farmers are speaking out about why ensuring access to safe and effective crop protection tools is important.

Their voices tell a simple story: When farmers are supported, everyone benefits.

[Modern Ag Alliance @modagalliance]

Farmers are already facing tight margins, rising costs, and growing uncertainty. The last thing they need is to lose access to the tools that help keep food affordable and farms productive.

Our latest Q&A breaks down what’s at stake for agriculture, food prices, and the future of crop protection tools.

The importance of consistency and clarity for farmers cannot be overstated.

Farmers are business owners. And as any business owner knows, regulatory uncertainty is a nightmare. That is exactly what many farmers face when access to the critical tools they depend on is unclear.

Farmers show up for us every day. We must show up for them by supporting policies that ensure they have the certainty they need to succeed.

Strawberries don’t last longer because they’re “90% chemical.” They last longer because farmers use modern growing, cooling, and shipping practices to keep fresh fruit from spoiling before it reaches your kitchen.

Farmers use crop protection tools responsibly to protect their crops, reduce food waste, and keep fresh fruit available for families.

[Nick Huber @sweatystartup]

Do not feed your kids strawberries.

Ever wonder why its hard to get them from the garden to your plate without them rotting in 24 hours but they have no problem shipping them from California to your house while they look perfect?

They are 90% chemical 10% strawberry.

In a recent interview, American Soybean Association President and Ohio farmer Scott Metzger explained that the effort to secure labeling uniformity is about supporting farmers and consumers.

Let’s put science first, protect consumers, and give farmers the certainty they need to keep producing a safe, affordable, and abundant food supply.

Farmers are the backbone of our nation.

Farming is hard work, and there are activists currently pushing policies that would strip farmers of the safe and effective tools they depend on, making an already difficult job even harder.

Let’s ensure farmers have every tool in the toolbox.

Over and over again, farmers have reaffirmed the importance of a science-based framework for glyphosate.

EPA’s yearslong review process considers thousands of studies, relies on leading scientists, and includes continual review. And that process has repeatedly upheld glyphosate’s safety.

We must continue to follow the science and protect the certainty farmers need to keep growing our food.

Farmers need certainty.

As the Supreme Court considers Monsanto v. Durnell, the question is whether science-based federal standards for pesticide labels will remain consistent.

That clarity matters for how farmers plan, manage risk, and protect their crops.
