OPINION  The Make America Healthy Again Commission has released its long-awaited report – which denigrates the safety of key pesticides used by corn growers and other farmers. The report is filled with fear-based rather than science-based information about pesticides. The National Corn Growers Association is deeply troubled that claims of this magnitude are being made without any scientific basis or regard for a long history of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency-expert evaluations of those products.
