Plan now to comply with new herbicide regulations

The senior policy director at the Missouri Soybean Association says farmers will need to implement more soil health practices to comply with the Environmental Protection Agency’s new herbicide strategy.

Casey Wasser says starting in 2025, the EPA will start assigning values to pesticides in the re-registration process based on how harmful the product might be to a species within a pesticide use limitation area (PULA). And farmers in those areas must make field changes to use the products.
