(Radio Iowa) – Iowa Congresswoman Ashley Hinson is sure that the efforts to deal with glyphosate, the main ingredient in weed killer is grounded in sound science. The Republican from Marion says farmers need to be able to make decisions on growing safe food.
“They need to make sure that they have the tools that they need to be able to do their job. We also need to make sure that they are safe. So I do support rigorous reviews at the federal level that our crop protection tools are safe and effective,” she says. Hinson has cosponsored a bill to expand capacity for domestic fertilizer production for small and mid-sized fertilizer producers, and supports that would help farmers use less fertilizer
“All of these pieces of legislation that help support our farmers. My goal is to get them across the finish line as soon as possible. The farm bill has been a great vehicle for many of our policies,” Hinson says.
Hinson is running for the Republican nomination to the U-S Senate.
