Rep. Adrian Smith (R-NE) released a statement following a petition by a coalition of 11 state attorneys general, led by Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers and Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird, urging the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to provide federal guidance on preventing herbicide mislabeling.
"In recent years, American agriculture producers have dealt with supply chain breakdowns, severe drought, and inflated input costs. Current ambiguity from the EPA puts the industry at further risk due to California’s spurious product labeling laws which perpetuate false narratives regarding a critical agriculture input. I applaud Attorney General Hilgers and this state coalition for calling on the EPA to provide guidance consistent with its own findings. Our hard-working farmers should never be hindered by anti-scientific state regulations."
