Now it's backing an EPA rule that would stop the bleeding.</p><p>by Schuyler Mitchell, March 21 2025</p><p>"Last August, 11 industry-friendly red states, led by Nebraska and Iowa, submitted a 436-page petition asking the agency to amend its labeling rules under the Federal <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Insecticide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Insecticide</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Rodenticide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rodenticide</span></a>, and Fungicide Act, or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FIFRA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FIFRA</span></a>.
