EPA’s Endangered Species Act Herbicide Strategy Could ‘Revolutionize’ Farming and Not in a Good Way

American Soybean Association Director of Government Affairs Kyle Kunkler says the new Herbicide Strategy from the Environmental Protection Agency to comply with the Endangered Species Act could "revolutionize" the farming industry and not in a good way. It could cost farmers significant amounts of money if it were implemented tomorrow. The good news is that it's not being implemented tomorrow, and folks like Kunkler and Kala Jenkins, Government Affairs Advocate for Beck's Hybrids, are advocating for farmers like you.
