The Supreme Court has agreed to hear Bayer's appeal taking aim at thousands of lawsuits targeting its top-selling Roundup weed killer for causing cancer. The high court agreed Friday to hear Bayer's challenge to a $1.25 million Missouri jury verdict against the company's Monsanto unit over Roundup on the ground some of the claims were preempted by federal law.

Thompson still plans to include language in a farm policy package that would limit state and local regulation of pesticides, despite renewed opposition to the proposal from Democrats, some Republicans and health activists. Now, Thompson's reasoning is that it'll drive up the cost of food to have 50 different states using different pesticide regulations.

0

329.099 - 337.247 Amy Morris

Thompson brushed aside opposition, pointing out that House Agriculture Committee members, including four Democrats, already voted to advance the proposal.
