Source: National Corn Growers Association news release
Chesterfield, MO - Today the Make America Healthy Again Commission released its policy recommendations geared toward addressing chronic childhood disease.
The report reflected NCGA's recommendation of reinforcing the Environmental Protection Agency's robust, globally respected pesticide review process.
In response to this development, Illinois farmer and NCGA President Kenneth Hartman Jr., released the following statement:
"The policy recommendations related to crop production, released today by the MAHA Commission, appear to be a reasonable and science-based approach for achieving its objectives. We are encouraged that when the commission engaged with agricultural stakeholders and followed the science, it reaffirmed what we already know: EPA is the appropriate agency for regulating crop inputs. We are also delighted to see precision agriculture, soil health and land stewardship prioritized, as these are areas in which corn farmers have led the way for many years. We look forward to working with the administration and Congress as they turn to the implementation of the report."
