The Environmental Protection Agency has updated its herbicide strategy and an ag policy specialist says the update is more workable than the draft.
The EPA released a draft herbicide strategy last summer to respond to courts requiring the agency to become more compliant with the Endangered Species Act.
Richard Gupton with the Ag Retailers Association tells Brownfield the EPA now recognizes different agricultural and geographic issues.
“Having more flexibility or adjustments to whatever mitigation efforts are put forward are going to be important,” he says.
