Senators from both parties criticized the lack of a trade agenda by the administration. BSenators Criticize Lack of Trade Talks

The Minnesota Legislature is considering legislation that would regulate treated seed and its disposal in the state, following an environmental disaster at an ethanol plant in Mead, Nebraska. BMinnesota Seeks to Regulate Neonic Seed
