Support Wyoming agriculture producers today!

Dear [legislator],

As one of your constituents, I urge you to support Wyoming ag producers and SF0074. Absent legislative action, a potential crisis is on the horizon for Wyoming agriculture that will impact ag producers across the state and, more importantly, all our dinner tables.

At risk is the availability of Wyoming ag producers’ #1 tool to manage invasive weeds and keep yields high—putting the state’s sugar beet industry in jeopardy. Safe, approved crop protection products are essential to Wyoming ag producers’ ability to keep costs low and ensure an affordable and abundant food supply. Without one of the most widely-used crop protection tools, food inflation could more than double—forcing us to pay even higher prices at the grocery store.

Yet, despite the clear science behind the safety and benefits of this technology, the litigation

industry is targeting ag producers’ best defense against weeds with relentless, and often meritless, lawsuits based on a single discredited report from the World Health Organization (W.H.O.). Ultimately, these reckless lawsuits threaten our food supply, farmers’ livelihoods, and will lead to higher prices. The Trump administration recently backed labeling uniformity, but even with possible federal action, Wyoming lawmakers still need to lead and provide much-needed certainty for our ag producers.

SF0074 protects Wyoming ag producers and the tools they rely on to grow our food. All the language says is that the federally approved label is the law and that a company can’t be subject to relentless litigation for following the law. Similar legislation has already been enacted in Georgia and North Dakota, and contrary to claims by anti-ag activists and other critics, this bill is not blanket immunity for anyone, as lawsuits unrelated to the label are unaffected.

We can’t allow trial lawyers and foreign bureaucrats to set agriculture policy in Wyoming.

Please stand with Wyoming ag producers and support SF0074.
