The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit gave almost two-dozen farming groups’ petitions for evaluation, after the Epa (EPA) prohibited making use of a popular pesticide on food crops, after dealing with a tight due date from the Ninth Circuit and pressure from ecological groups.
In a Nov. 2 viewpoint, authored by U.S. Court of Appeals Judge David R. Stras for the Eighth Circuit, the court figured out the EPA’s choice to prohibit making use of chlorpyrifos on food crops was approximate and capricious. For that reason, it gave almost two-dozen farming groups’ petitions for evaluation and left the previous order.
