Why It Matters
CropLife America expanded its lobbying presence by amending its registration with Bishop Consulting Group LLC on September 2. CropLife America, which lobbies across agriculture, environmental, budget, trade, and food safety issues, has spent $4.26 million on lobbying over the past four quarters.
By the Numbers
CropLife America's in-house team includes six active lobbyists listed in a July 16 amendment: Jay Ivey, Venus Welch-White, Sally Rey, Jeff Blackwood, Alexandra Dunn, and Scott Herndon. External representation comes from Bishop Consulting Group LLC, where Shule Bishop serves as Partner and Rob Bishop as Founder/Senior Consultant. CropLife America has filed nine lobbying disclosures.
Broader Context
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reclassified metam sodium/potassium and dazomet as restricted use pesticides following a nearly four-year reassessment, as well as announced a new method in March for Endangered Species Act consultation that changes how registration review actions under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act are evaluated.
