The disruption caused by the dicamba vacatur is unlikely to be the only hurdle ag retailers face this year. ARA has identified this year’s public policy priorities that will steer its grassroots advocacy efforts.
After the EPA update on the Existing Stocks Order for dicamba product registrations, Agricultural Retailers Association (ARA) president and CEO Daren Coppock applauded their fast response to the issue.
According to the EPA, the Eighth Circuit’s mandate issued on December 28, 2023, finalized the court’s judgment and vacated the EPA’s 2021 rule revoking chlorpyrifos tolerances.
ARA shares opportunities for ag retailers to save on credit card processing, foster their knowledge network and improve employee retention with professional development programs and resources.
ARA members will benefit from the National Propane Gas Association’s Administrative Compliance Experts handling FMCSA paperwork and filings, FMCSA audits, and training materials and training equipment guidance.
The ARA staff awarded Twining because of his service as vice chair of the ARA public policy committee, his testimony before the House Agriculture Committee on the onerous WOTUS regulations, and more.
“Let us build upon the successes of the past, embrace the challenges of the present, and shape a future that ensures the prosperity and sustainability of agricultural retailers and their partners,” said Asmus.
