Hear from a farmer: Crop protection tools such as glyphosate are imperative to keeping farms productive and livelihoods strong.
For farmers like Bill, these tools have made a meaningful impact, helping protect crops, manage tough weeds, and keep operations productive season after season.
Reliable access to glyphosate matters for farmers, families, and the future of American agriculture.
Farmers are already working with tight margins and rising costs. They need access to proven tools that help them remain resilient season after season, keep their land healthy, and ensure our food supply is secure.

Vital crop protection tools such as glyphosate help farmers keep yields high and costs down.
As Modern Ag Alliance Executive Director Elizabeth Burns-Thompson said in a recent column, the scientific record is consistent. Regulators from across the world have repeatedly affirmed that glyphosate can be used safely as directed.
Farmers deserve to have every available tool in the toolbox, especially those backed by science.

Hear from a farmer: Everybody is feeling the rising costs these days.
At a time when agriculture is facing mounting pressure, farmers deserve certainty as they work to produce the food, fuel, and fiber America depends on.
MAA is proud to continue fighting for policies that empower farmers to grow food safely and affordably.
For 250 years, American farmers have helped shape and strengthen this country.
Today, far fewer farmers support a much larger country and growing global demand for food, often while facing higher costs, tighter margins, and uncertainty.
As we mark 250 years of America and American agriculture, we must ensure farmers have the tools they need to sustain a safe, affordable, and abundant food supply.

Happy Fourth of July from the Modern Ag Alliance!
Since our nation’s beginning, agriculture and hardworking American farmers have helped feed, fuel, and strengthen this country.
Today, we celebrate our freedom, our farmers, and the communities that keep American agriculture moving forward.
Last week’s Supreme Court decision was a major moment for the agriculture community.
Growers need rules they can understand, a regulatory process they can trust and the ability to make decisions with confidence each season. That starts with a federal system rooted in science and consistency.

Thanks for joining us, Elizabeth!
MAA Executive Director Elizabeth Burns-Thompson participated in the @ctic_tweet Conservation in Action Tour earlier this month.
Farmers rely on conservation practices to preserve topsoil, protect water quality, and build soil health. Critical crop protection tools help make this possible. Practices such as no-till allow farmers to reduce erosion and manage weeds.
Protecting these tools means protecting farmers’ ability to care for their land while continuing to grow the food, fuel, and fiber families rely on.
These figures may sound ridiculous, but activists are using them to mislead the public about pesticide residues and food safety.
In a recent column, MAA Executive Director Elizabeth Burns-Thompson pointed out the flaws behind claims about pesticide residues. The reality is that reaching harmful levels would require consuming inconceivable amounts of food.
We must ensure that farmers can continue using the tools they need to provide a safe, affordable, and abundant food supply.
