Wanted: Consistent guidance from DPR on pesticide use

04/24/19 9:47 AM By Sara Wyant

Recent guidance letters are putting some long-standing relationship to the test regarding pesticide regulations.

This week’s Open Mic guest is Tim Lust, CEO of the National Sorghum Producers. While the ag industry as a whole has suffered from many headwinds, Lust reports sorghum producers have fared better than others. China represents a tremendous opportunity for sorghum and has made significant purchases recently. Lust says sorghum growers look for new opportunities from global markets but also share the sufferings of the domestic ethanol market. NSP is pleased with early reports on USDA regulation of gene editing and hope for similar action from other agencies.
