The President and CEO of the Ag Retailers Association says he’s concerned the recent chlorpyrifos decision could set a dangerous precedent.
Daren Coppock says the change didn’t go through the normal pesticide regulation process under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).
“What EPA has done instead is they’ve canceled food use tolerances, which is under a totally different statue and didn’t require any kind of public notice or comment,” he says.
