Fifty-seven percent of national voters agreed that farmer control over weeds, diseases and pests on crops keeps food affordable, according to a poll exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller. Out of the 1,000 voters surveyed, only nine percent considered government regulation over farmer use of pesticides to be a priority.

The national poll, from Trump pollster Adam Geller, was commissioned by CropLife America and conducted by Geller’s firm National Research Inc. in May.

Forty-six percent of voters agreed with the statement: “American farmers need pesticides to grow enough food for the country. This is not just critical for making groceries more affordable but also reducing the trade deficit and protecting our national security.”

Twenty-four percent disagreed while 21 percent were neutral or unsure. Those results echoed sentiments expressed in Agricultural Secretary Brooke Rollins’ conversation with Breitbart News’s Matthew Boyle [May 20, 2025].
