The House has approved a five-year farm bill that removes pesticide liability protections, a move that could alter how farmers manage chemical risks.
The legislation, which has been in development for several years, now awaits Senate action. The Senate is expected to revisit the debate on pesticide liability, potentially revising the protections that were previously in place.
No specific numbers were disclosed in the House vote.
No quotes were provided in the House announcement.
The Senate debate may bring further scrutiny to pesticide liability, which could influence farm operations and the broader agricultural supply chain.
