58. Connecting Regulators and Growers on Issues Like the ESA, with Becky Langer
Episode 58
Wednesday, 19 November, 2025
For more than 50 years, the Environmental Species Act has regulated the way that farmers can use certain crop tools, like pesticides, herbicides and fungicides. But American farmers are experiencing the most significant change in ESA policy yet, as the judicial system compels the Environmental Protection Agency to adapt its policies and comply more precisely with the law as it’s written. So in this episode, we’re learning about how NCGA remains active in the public input process for this policy change, ensuring that growers do not lose access to the tools that help them feed and fuel the world. We’ll speak with Dr. Becky Langer, NCGA’s Director of Inputs and Innovation, about how the process is playing out, how NCGA has partnered with the EPA, and what the impact will be when it’s all said and done.
