We are a coalition of 110+ ag groups advocating for farmers’ access to the critical crop protection tools they need to support our food supply.linktr.ee/modernagallian…Joined June 2025
These figures may sound ridiculous, but activists are using them to mislead the public about pesticide residues and food safety.
In a recent column, MAA Executive Director Elizabeth Burns-Thompson pointed out the flaws behind claims about pesticide residues. The reality is that reaching harmful levels would require consuming inconceivable amounts of food.
We must ensure that farmers can continue using the tools they need to provide a safe, affordable, and abundant food supply.

MAA Executive Director Elizabeth Burns-Thompson participated in the @ctic_tweet Conservation in Action Tour earlier this month.
Farmers rely on conservation practices to preserve topsoil, protect water quality, and build soil health. Critical crop protection tools help make this possible. Practices such as no-till allow farmers to reduce erosion and manage weeds.
Protecting these tools means protecting farmers’ ability to care for their land while continuing to grow the food, fuel, and fiber families rely on.
Science-based regulation matters.
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin emphasized the importance of guiding EPA’s review process with the best available science and a commitment to transparency with the public.
That approach is critical for maintaining confidence in the regulatory system, giving farmers certainty, and ensuring decisions about crop protection tools are rooted in evidence… not politics.

Last week, MAA Executive Director Elizabeth Burns-Thompson spoke at the Southern Region Commodity Conference in Georgia.
Georgia has been a leader with critical pesticide labeling uniformity legislation. As other states consider similar action, MAA looks forward to continuing the conversation around commonsense solutions that protect farmers’ access to essential tools and strengthen certainty for American agriculture.
One bale of cotton can produce more than 1,200 t-shirts, more than 4,000 pairs of socks, hundreds of towels, bed sheets, jeans, and other household goods.
That everyday reliability starts with farmers, and farmers need modern crop protection tools to keep growing the cotton families and manufacturers depend on.

Innovations in crop protection have vastly expanded what is possible on the farm.
As MAA Executive Director Elizabeth Burns-Thompson discussed on RFD-TV’s Market Day Report Weekend, these tools help farmers adopt conservation practices and manage costs, which is especially important now at a time when families and farm operations alike are feeling pressure from higher costs.
Crop protection tools have helped farmers strengthen their operations and keep moving agriculture forward for more than 50 years.

While in North Carolina last week, MAA Executive Director Elizabeth Burns-Thompson had the opportunity to dive deeper and learn more about one of America’s essential crops: cotton.
Cotton is one of America’s most important fiber crops, helping supply the materials used in clothing, home goods, medical supplies, and many other everyday products. Supporting American cotton means supporting the safe and effective tools farmers need to grow it. 89% of U.S. cotton acres rely on glyphosate to help manage weeds and protect yields.
MAA is proud to work toward outcomes that ensure cotton farmers have access to the critical crop protection tools they need.

Thank you, @SecRollins, for standing up for the crop protection tools wheat growers rely on every day. America's farmers need access to science-based innovations that help them remain productive, competitive, and keep food affordable.
Strong comments from @SecRollins before @HouseAgGOP on the importance of protecting farmers’ access to essential crop protection tools.
At a time when farmers are facing tight margins and growing uncertainty, it is encouraging to see USDA leadership recognize what is at stake
Strong comments from @SecRollins before @HouseAgGOP on the importance of protecting farmers’ access to essential crop protection tools.
At a time when farmers are facing tight margins and growing uncertainty, it is encouraging to see USDA leadership recognize what is at stake for our food supply, national security, and rural communities.
Affordable groceries start with strong farms.
As food insecurity rises and families continue feeling pressure at the checkout line, policymakers should focus on strengthening the systems that keep food available and affordable — starting with the farmers who grow it.
Farmers need reliable tools and science-based certainty to protect their crops, maintain yields, and keep food on America’s tables.

Farmers depend on crop protection tools to keep yields high and our food supply strong. Just as importantly, they depend on the EPA’s science-based process to ensure those tools are safe for farmers, consumers and the environment.
An independent, thorough review benefits us all and reinforces the trust farmers and families place in our regulatory system.
See EPA Administrator Zeldin’s comments here → youtube.com/watch?v=HrcjaA…
From bread to cereal, wheat is part of everyday life for American families. But misleading claims about the role of pesticides often leave out important context.
Wheat farmers use crop protection tools to manage weeds and help keep wheat affordable and available.
Read our latest myth vs. fact breakdown to learn what the science actually says: modernagalliance.org/news-resources…
Safe, affordable, and abundant food depends on a strong agricultural system, from research and regulation to the farmers and producers who put food on our tables every day.
Supporting farmers means strengthening the systems that keep our agricultural economy strong.

American farmers grow more than what ends up on our plates. They grow the crops that help fuel our cars, clothe our families, and power rural economies.
Protecting access to crop protection tools helps farmers continue producing the food, fuel, and fiber our country depends on.

Hear from Missouri farmers:
From rising costs to feeding a growing world, farmers are speaking out about why ensuring access to safe and effective crop protection tools is important.
Their voices tell a simple story: When farmers are supported, everyone benefits.
Farmers are already facing tight margins, rising costs, and growing uncertainty. The last thing they need is to lose access to the tools that help keep food affordable and farms productive.
Our latest Q&A breaks down what’s at stake for agriculture, food prices, and the future of crop protection tools.

The importance of consistency and clarity for farmers cannot be overstated.
Farmers are business owners. And as any business owner knows, regulatory uncertainty is a nightmare. That is exactly what many farmers face when access to the critical tools they depend on is unclear.
Farmers show up for us every day. We must show up for them by supporting policies that ensure they have the certainty they need to succeed.
