Georgia Peanut Farm Show and SCOTUS to Hear Roundup Case
From the Ag Information Network, I’m Bob Larson with your Agribusiness Update.
**More than 1,800 attendees were able to fine-tune their farming operations with information gained at last week’s 49th annual Georgia Peanut Farm Show in Tifton.
www.morningagclips.com reports the one-day event offered farmers a chance to view the products and services of nearly 100 exhibitors and educational opportunities.
The University of Georgia Peanut Team presented an educational peanut production seminar focusing on remaining profitable in 2026, disease and weed management.

**The Supreme Court agreed Friday to hear an appeal from Bayer to block thousands of lawsuits claiming it failed to warn people that its popular weedkiller could cause cancer.
www.agrimarketing.com reports the justices will consider whether the EPA’s approval of Roundup without a cancer warning should rule out the state court claims.
Some studies associate Roundup's key ingredient, glyphosate, with cancer, although the EPA says it’s not likely carcinogenic when ‘used as directed.’
**State officials are warning livestock producers after a confirmed case of New World screwworm was found about 215 miles from the Texas border in Mexico.
The parasitic pest, which can cause serious livestock injury and economic loss, was detected in a 7-year-old cow.
Texas Ag Commissioner Sid Miller says there’s no evidence the pest has established a breeding population, but producers along the border should inspect animals daily and report suspicious cases immediately.
