Federal policies often grab the headlines, but action in state legislatures can have a considerable impact on agriculture. Bayer Senior Director of State Policy and Advocacy Dave Tierney says the crop protection industry face scrutiny. “Glyphosate and the use of neonicotinoids have gotten some attention so we continue to work with a lot of policymakers on the value and their benefit.” The DFL controls the House, Senate and Governor’s Office in Minnesota while the Republicans have a super-majority in North Dakota and South Dakota. Speaking at a Bayer event Tuesday night in Fargo, Tierney encouraged farmers to remain involved. “Things can happen really fast in the state legislature so stay close to your elected officials.”
