The Ohio AgriBusiness Association recently joined more than 360 organizations in a letter sent to members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives Committees on Appropriations that advocates for including Section 461 in the FY 2024 House Interior Appropriations bill to ensure nationwide uniformity in pesticide labeling, emphasizing the role of pesticides in food production and environmental conservation.
The letter addresses concerns about state-level deviations from EPA guidelines on pesticide regulation and labeling, and stresses the importance of consistent, science-backed pesticide labels for crop protection and public health.
