Agricultural Groups Rally Behind Monsanto in Supreme Court Bid Over Roundup Pesticide Debate


In a recent development, 18 groups including the American Soybean Association and the Cherry Marketing Institute have filed amicus briefs in support of Monsanto’s petition for the U.S. Supreme Court to review a case concerning the pesticide Roundup. The groups, representing various agricultural sectors such as corn, soybeans, blueberries, and cherries, emphasized potential risks to America’s food supply should glyphosate, Roundup’s primary ingredient, be withdrawn. This marks a significant increase in support compared to Monsanto’s earlier petition in 2022, which the Supreme Court declined. More details on the case can be found here.
