Contact Congress about S. 1999: USDA CROP Act of 2025

The EPA would have to use more farm data before it sets many pesticide rules. It would also have to explain costs, data choices, and endangered species steps in public.

Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

USDA CROP Act of 2025 is a Senate bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry.

Latest action on S. 1999: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects farmers, pesticide companies, state pesticide agencies, and federal agencies that review pesticide safety. Farmers could see pesticide rules shaped more by farm-use data and cost studies. Pesticide companies could be involved when agencies waive or change coordination steps. Conservation groups and wildlife agencies could see changes in how pesticide protections for endangered species are developed.

Why this matters: Pesticide rules can affect what farmers can use, how they use it, and how wildlife gets protected. This bill would add more farm data, cost review, and agency coordination before many EPA decisions. That could make pesticide rules feel clearer and more practical to growers. It could also slow some actions or make strong environmental limits harder to adopt, depending on how agencies apply the bill.

Key provisions in S. 1999

  • EPA would have to work with the Secretary of Agriculture before it sets any pesticide risk controls.
  • EPA would have to study and publish the costs of new pesticide risk controls. The study must cover growers, state lead agencies, and other affected groups, including costs from use changes and label updates.
  • EPA would have to work with USDA's Office of Pest Management Policy. Together they would gather farm-use data from USDA and industry, plus information on whether other pesticide products are available and affordable.
  • When EPA makes a decision, it would have to explain how it used USDA data. If EPA does not use some data or information, it must explain why.
  • For pesticide actions tied to endangered species, agencies would have to connect those steps to normal pesticide risk-and-benefit reviews. These are reviews that weigh pesticide risks against their uses and benefits.
