THE FARM BILL’S ONE-TWO PUNCH
THE FARM BILL WOULD BLOCK STATE FAILURE-TO-WARN LAWSUITS AND EXEMPT GENETICALLY ENGINEERED PESTICIDE CROPS FROM EPA SAFETY TESTING REQUIREMENTS.
OUR STAND: AT-A-GLANCE
- The “Farm Bill” sets national policy for farms, food, and land in the U.S. It’s reviewed and renewed approximately every 5 years.
- The 2026 Farm Bill released February 13, 2026, would give HUGE GIFTS to pesticide manufacturers.
- ONE: It would effectively shield pesticide makers from state court cases alleging injuries (like cancer) from using their products, by making EPA the only government entity authorized to determine what is safe for sale.
- TWO: Gene-altered plants designed to make their own pesticide would automatically be exempt from regulation, unless the EPA justifies the need for oversight.
- Another big concern is, certain sections would also eliminate all state and local authority over pesticides. They prohibit cities and counties from regulating pesticide “sale, distribution, labeling, registration, application, or use” and declaring EPA-registered pesticides automatically “lawful” to use “without any other permit, license, or approval” from states or local governments.
- Keeping local control, informed consent, and the right to sue is even more critical in the face of the new Executive Order dropped only days after the Farm Bill, that protects glyphosate as a national security issue.
- The Farm Bill is moving fast, and Big Ag is hoping MAHA won’t catch up. The 800-page bill was dropped on the Friday before a holiday weekend, when the House was scheduled to be at home in their districts the whole next week, and announced to have a committee hearing 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, March 3, 2026.
TAKE ACTION BY MARCH 3rd

Keep Big Ag Accountable
The 2026 Farm Bill introduced on February 13, 2026 has big gifts to Big Ag – deregulation of gene-edited plants (“plant-incorporated protectants” or PIPs) and a shield against liability for injuries to Americans from using dangerous pesticides.
First, Section 10201 would alter FIFRA to automatically exempt from regulation “plant-incorporated protectants” – basically plants that have been genetically altered to create their own pesticides. The EPA already has the ability under law to choose to exclude a PIP from regulation, but this Farm Bill section would make it automatic and put the burden on the EPA to justify regulation of gene-altered products. Did you know there are already 53 registered PIPs – modified soy, corn, cotton, plums, potatoes, and papayas – with more in the pipeline? This FIFRA amendment would basically fast-track new gene-altered plants onto farms and into grocery stores and American homes and schools.
Second, Section 10205 would effectively shield pesticide manufacturers from lawsuits alleging injury or death from using their products, just like the vaccine industry’s “1986 Act.” And it’s the same scenario too – Americans are getting cancer or other illnesses and dying because they used certain pesticides without knowing the same safety information the industry knew; Americans are suing and winning. So Big Ag is working to end-run the courts and change the law instead, to stop the lawsuits. Bayer (which acquired Monsanto), for example, has paid out tens of billions of dollars in lawsuits from Americans with cancer after using Roundup, and they are not done. Section 10205 would stop states from being able to supplement and fact-check EPA labels and safety assessments, and eliminate American’s 7th Amendment right to a trial for injury. It would moot a case before the Supreme Court right now on federal preemption of FIFRA in these cases. The section appears to allow liability, but the conditions are narrow and unlikely – the company must have knowingly committed fraud and already been penalized under FIFRA.
Last, Sections 10206 and 10207 would eliminate all state and local authority over pesticides. They prohibit cities and counties from regulating pesticide “sale, distribution, labeling, registration, application, or use” and declaring EPA-registered pesticides automatically “lawful” to use “without any other permit, license, or approval” from states or local governments.
I urge you to strike sections 10205, 10206, 10207 and portions of 10201 regarding PIPs and substances “intended to be produced and used within a plant.” Americans deserve accountability when they’re farming, and feeding families.
MESSAGE (2): U.S. Representative
Two Dangerous Sections. One Chance to Stop Them.
The 2026 Farm Bill introduced on February 13, 2026 has two big gifts to Big Ag – deregulation of gene-edited plants (“plant-incorporated protectants” or PIPs) and a shield against liability for injuries to Americans from using dangerous pesticides. We know this bill is moving fast and want you to be aware when the time comes to vote on it in your committee or on the house floor.
First, Section 10201 would alter FIFRA to automatically exempt from regulation “plant-incorporated protectants” – basically plants that have been genetically altered to create their own pesticides. The EPA already has the ability under law to choose to exclude a PIP from regulation, but this Farm Bill section would make it automatic and put the burden on the EPA to justify regulation of gene-altered products.

It would moot a case before the Supreme Court right now on federal preemption of FIFRA in these cases. The section appears to allow liability, but the conditions are narrow and unlikely – the company must have knowingly committed fraud and already been penalized under FIFRA.
I urge you to strike sections 10205, and sections of 10201 regarding PIPs and substances “intended to be produced and used within a plant.” Americans deserve accountability when they’re farming, and feeding families.

Really, has my government completely lost it’s reason? Poison, poison and more poison? What happened to MAHA? Apparently, it was a lie all along. We will all be dead if this keeps up.
So, to spell it out, in regards to the 2026 Farm Bill, I implore you to remove sections 10205, 10206 and 10207. And in the future any and all legislation that promotes poison in our food chain.
Thank you,
Jason Winnett
