Modern Ag Crop Production Technologies

The federal government must make decisions based on sound science, peer-reviewed data, and by following a risk-based approach to avoid stripping away the critical crop input supplies (fertilizers, pesticides, biostimulants, seed, etc.) and precision ag technologies that ag retailers provide to their farmer customers.

ARA's Position

  • Protect farmers’ essential tools (seed, pesticide, fertilizer, biostimulants, precision ag technology);
  • Support codifying pesticide registration oversight and regulations at the EPA and state agencies;
  • Ensure government decisions are based on sound science and risk-based peer-reviewed data; and
  • Invest in research and development to enhance crop yields and improve plant health.

Each year, ARA members decide a new set of public policy issues to steer the association's advocacy efforts with elected officials and regulatory agencies in Washington during the annual ARA Legislative Fly-In and beyond.
