Time Running Out to Change Redundant Pesticide Requirements

Time is running out for Congress to ensure farmers and ranchers are not subject to redundant pesticide permitting requirements. Monday (October 31) is the deadline for EPA to implement new pesticide permits – and with the U.S. Senate in recess – House Ag Committee Chair Frank Lucas says there is really no time to pass a legislative fix. As a result – he says business owners, farmers and ranchers across the country will soon be tied up in another layer of red tape – hindering their ability to do business.

The U.S. House passed the Reducing Regulatory Burdens Act in an effort to prevent what Lucas calls an unnecessary burden on Ameriac’s businesses. He says the measure is necessary due to a misguided court order released in 2009. Lucas says the determination that EPA must issue permits for pesticide use near waterways was made despite the fact that pesticide use is already heavily regulated under a federal statute.

But the U.S. Senate has not acted on this measure. Despite strong bipartisan support – Lucas says Majority Leader Harry Reid has refused to bring the legislation to the Senate for a vote. He says the cost of the Senate’s inaction is significant.

What Super Committee Failure Would Mean for Ag

If the Super Committee can’t reach agreement on a plan to find 1.2-trillion dollars in budget savings – or Congress can’t agree to approve it – the efforts of the Ag Committee leaders to shape farm bill cuts won’t matter. That’s because failure of the Super Committee plan will result in sequestration. Chris Wall of the National Pork Producers Council says that would take power away from the Ag Committees – and given possible ag cuts previously outlined by President Obama – the cuts would not come from the same places the House and Senate Ag Committees have proposed.

Wall says things just haven’t been going well for the Super Committee – where Republicans and Democrats still disagree on taxes and entitlements. Democrats don’t want to take from entitlement spending if there aren’t revenue raisers on the table. Republicans have said tax increases never will be on the table. Still – Wall doesn’t believe lawmakers will let it come to sequestration. Instead – they might come to agreement on a smaller round of cuts – maybe something like 800-billion – and deal with the rest in the new year.
