The federal government is rewriting the rules on pesticide use under the Endangered Species Act—and it’s going straight on the label.
And as you know… the label is the law.
Here’s what’s coming:
• New restrictions on when and how you can apply products
• Stricter requirements tied to drift, runoff, and erosion
• Location-based limits that could change how you farm field by field
This isn’t a one-time shift. This is a long-term overhaul that will roll out over the next 15 years, impacting nearly every product you depend on.
Dr. Becky Langer from NCGA recently broke this all down: what’s changing with ESA, how pesticide labels and application are being reshaped, and what it means for Ohio farming operations.
