Farmers, Join the Fight to Defend Glyphosate
For decades, we have led innovation in American agriculture to provide you with the products you need.
And for the last 50 years, Glyphosate has been a reliable, foundational tool for farmers. It is safe to use as directed and a critical tool to help you fight weeds, maintain conservation farming practices, and produce the kind of yields critical to an affordable food supply.
However, legal challenges are threatening your access to this essential product.
Despite its clear scientific record, the litigation industry continues to use misleading information to challenge glyphosate’s safety in pursuit of a big payday. Fighting against the litigation industry has cost more than $10 billion to date with no resolution. One thing is clear, we cannot continue to sell an approved product and lose billions of dollars in doing so. Unfortunately, we are nearing the point where the efforts of the litigation industry will force us to stop selling this product.
And while glyphosate is the topic today, make no mistake that all crop protection products could be under attack by the litigation industry.
Without access to glyphosate, your costs go up and consumers suffer with higher prices in the grocery store.
That’s why we are fighting to protect this product, as if all of our livelihoods depend on it. We are actively engaged in legislative efforts at both the federal and state levels, to support policies that protect your access to an essential, domestically produced crop protection product.
The EPA has repeatedly affirmed glyphosate as safe to use as directed. The legislation we support reinforces the authority of the EPA’s rigorous, science-backed labeling decisions. When the EPA has completed its extensive evaluation and determined the content of a crop protection label, that decision should be consistent and reliable for everyone. The label is the law. This legislation reinforces federal law requiring uniformity in U.S. labeling, which helps eliminate the unfounded premise of the legal attacks.
We've successfully defended glyphosate in numerous lawsuits and continue to fight against unfounded claims. But we need your help to save this product.
We know you’re busy, but the time is now and this is urgent. Legislators are making decisions NOW and need to hear from you. Here’s how you can help:
- Send a letter to your state legislator by clicking here
- If you do not have an active state bill in your state, please reach out to your Federal legislator here
- Engage in a direct conversation with a policymaker (request a meeting with your member)
- Become a supporter of the Modern Ag Alliance (https://modernagalliance.org/)
- Forward this to a fellow farmer, neighbor or friend
- Share on social media how the loss of glyphosate would impact YOUR farm and livelihood
We hope you will join us in this critically important fight. Thank you for all you do.
Sincerely,
Your partners at Bayer
