More than 300 ag groups sent a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency calling for reform to its Endangered Species Act. American Soybean Association President Josh Gackle said the letter’s intent was for farmers to get some clarity over pesticide use. “We understand that they have to meet the requirements of the law when they provide registrations for certain labels and go through that ESA process, but they’re being a little too conservative in their assumptions from our perspective not using real-world data and actual practices on the farm.” Gackle farms at Kulm, North Dakota.
