Opposition Grows To House Pesticide Control Measure
Washington reports rising opposition to an anti-pesticide bill from the agriculture committee. The measure would grant EPA broad powers, set penalties for makers and farmers, and indemnities for buyers of pesticides later banned. Key backers Poage and Belcher offered a compromise after last minute changes. Grange and Farm Bureau concerns focus on indemnities and penalties, while NFU seeks guardrails for farmers.
