St. Louis, MO — A new national and state-level Ag Insights survey from the Modern Ag Alliance confirms that U.S. farmers and the broader public strongly support maintaining access to essential crop protection tools—a view on which majorities of Republicans and Democrats agree. These results come as legislation is being considered by lawmakers across the country to avert a crisis in U.S. agriculture due to relentless litigation targeting these products. Additional key findings include extremely low levels of trust in trial lawyers and opposition to litigation that threatens U.S. agriculture, food prices, and food security.
“These findings send a clear message to lawmakers that their constituents stand with farmers and they expect their elected officials to do the same,” said MAA Executive Director Elizabeth Burns-Thompson. “The crisis facing U.S. agriculture can be prevented by ensuring that safe and essential crop protection tools remain available. If our leaders don’t act, the consequences will be felt at every dinner table in America.”
