CropLife America is concerned that the proposed 31 percent cut to EPA’s 2018 budget will have a negative impact on agriculture. The pesticide industry trade group’s executive vice president of government affairs, Beau Greenwood says he understands the budgetary reasons behind the cuts.
“But the work that’s done in the Office of Pesticide Programs is critical to registering existing products and bringing new technology to the marketplace to allow farmers to be more efficient,” said Greenwood, during an interview with Brownfield Ag News Wednesday.
