KEEP Wyoming
GROWING
Glyphosate-based pesticides are Wyoming 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 corn, wheat, and barley, helping Wyoming farms compete in an increasingly challenging global market and ensuring a robust and affordable food supply.
Agriculture contributes over $2B to the state’s economy, and Wyoming farmers are the backbone of that activity.
Wyoming 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%.
- Wyoming farmers depend on glyphosate to successfully grow corn, wheat, and barley. 80% of corn and 58% of all wheat acres rely on glyphosate.
Glyphosate helps keep Wyoming farmers competitive in global markets.
- Glyphosate helps keep farmers’ costs low. Without glyphosate, input costs for Wyoming farmers could more than double.
Glyphosate helps keep grocery prices affordable.
- Without glyphosate, food inflation could more than double—forcing Wyomingites to pay even more at the grocery store.
