55. Standing Up for Pesticides Targeted by the “Make America Healthy Again” Movement
“Make America Healthy Again” might sound like something we can all get on board with.
But the MAHA Commission convened by President Trump and headed by HHHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has set its sights on some odd targets…
…including two mission-critical pesticides for corn farmers, Glyphosate and Atrazine.
Without citing scientific evidence, a report from the MAHA Commission seems to blame these safe and effective tools of agriculture for kids’ health problems.
This is in spite of decades of EPA, USDA and FDA precedent that have established safe practices and regulations for their use.
So in this episode, we hear from two key leaders at NCGA—VP of Public Policy Lesly McNitt and Director of Inputs and Innovation Dr. Becky Langer—about what the organization is doing to protect these important crop treatments.
We’ll discuss why most folks don’t understand the importance and safety of pesticides, what the report means for corn growers, and how farmers can protect their access to these tools.
