KEEP North Dakota
GROWING
Glyphosate-based pesticides are North Dakota farmers’ #1 tool to control weeds, keep yields high, and implement conservation practices that use less land and resources.
These products are integral to producing soybeans and corn, helping North Dakota farms compete in an increasingly challenging global market and ensuring a robust and affordable food supply.
Agriculture contributes over $14B to the state’s economy, and North Dakota farmers are the backbone of that activity.
North Dakota farmers rely on pesticides to grow their crops and keep yields high, bolstering domestic food production and ensuring we have enough to eat.
- Up to 40% of crops are lost to pests and diseases each year. Without pesticides, losses could be as high as 85%.
- As the nation’s leading wheat producer and a major producer of soybeans and corn, North Dakota farmers depend on glyphosate for successful harvests. 58% of wheat, 80% of corn, and 92% of all soybean acres rely on glyphosate.
Glyphosate helps keep North Dakota farmers competitive in global markets.
- Glyphosate helps keep farmers’ costs low. Without glyphosate, input costs for North Dakota farmers could more than double.
Glyphosate helps keep grocery prices affordable.
- Without glyphosate, food inflation could more than double—forcing North Dakotans to pay even more at the grocery store.
