To help secure a pesticide preemption provision in the 2023 Farm Bill, NPMA is asking all US members to help us by visiting with your Congressional representatives in August. Participation is free and you can register here to participate in August visits.
Every year, Congress adjourns for the majority of August to spend time at home to learn about the concerns of their constituents. With a midterm coming up, this will be a key time for policymakers to hear from constituents like you. This year, we need them to hear from our industry on how important it is to include a preemption fix in the 2023 Farm Bill. We are asking you to schedule a visit with your Representative and Senators in August while they are home and make that ask. NPMA staff can then follow up with DC staff to reinforce your talking points.
NPMA’s policy team has meeting handouts on preemption, talking points for your visits tailored to offices, a webinar on July 20th to prepare attendees, and how-to resources to help set up your district visits, all available online here.
Our industry must speak with a united voice and ensure that the 2023 Farm Bill includes a pesticide preemption provision. Join us today and plan on visiting with your policymakers in August.
