CropLife America report supports crop protection products

A CropLife America report says the increased crop production and resultant economic spin-offs that stem from the use of crop protection products generate $33 billion in wages for over 1.05 million American workers.

These jobs span beyond the farming industry to additional sectors, including manufacturing, food services, construction, transportation and more, says the report issued last week.

CropLife America represents companies that produce, sell and distribute herbicides, pesticides and other crop protection and biotechnology products.
