"Our Stand: At-A-Glance
The “Farm Bill” sets national policy for farms, food, and land in the U.S. It’s reviewed and renewed approximately every 5 years. The 2026 Farm Bill released February 13, 2026, would give HUGE GIFTS to pesticide manufacturers. ONE: It would effectively shield pesticide makers from state court cases alleging injuries (like cancer) from using their products, by making EPA the only government entity authorized to determine what is safe for sale. TWO: Gene-altered plants designed to make their own pesticide would automatically be exempt from regulation, unless the EPA justifies the need for oversight.
Another big concern is, certain sections would also eliminate all state and local authority over pesticides. They prohibit cities and counties from regulating pesticide “sale, distribution, labeling, registration, application, or use” and declaring EPA-registered pesticides automatically “lawful” to use “without any other permit, license, or approval” from states or local governments.
Keeping local control, informed consent, and the right to sue is even more critical in the face of the new Executive Order dropped only days after the Farm Bill, that protects glyphosate as a national security issue.
The Farm Bill is moving fast, and Big Ag is hoping MAHA won’t catch up. The 800-page bill was dropped on the Friday before a holiday weekend, when the House was scheduled to be at home in their districts the whole next week, and announced to have a committee hearing on Monday February 23, 2026.
ACTION: Contact the House Agriculture Committee or your U.S. Representative today and urge them to strike the liability shield and keep gene-edited plants regulated.
