(NAFB.com) – The National Corn Growers Association sent a letter to the White House asking President Trump to intervene as the Make America Healthy Again Commission prepares to release policy recommendations that question the safety of pesticides that have already been approved by the EPA. “Our alarm stems from the initial assessment, which raised pesticide safety questions that have already been answered repeatedly over the decades by research and regulatory agencies,” the letter said. “If such language is included in the policy recommendations, it could significantly hamper the work of America’s farmers and raise prices for consumers without providing any additional layer of safety for the American public.” The letter says if the pesticides in the original report were to disappear completely, crop yields could decrease by more than 70 percent due to pests, weeds, and disease. Every pesticide approved for use must submit dozens, if not hundreds, of test results for EPA review.
