Pioneer's Herbicide-Proof Corn Petitions for Regulatory Escape
Published Date: 2/18/2026
Notice
Summary
Pioneer Hi-Bred International wants the USDA to say their new genetically engineered corn, which fights certain bugs and tolerates specific herbicides, is safe and doesn’t need special rules. The USDA is sharing the petition and a risk report for everyone to check out and comment on by April 20, 2026. This could change how farmers grow corn and what products hit the market, possibly saving time and money.
