Minnesota lawmakers seek to ban paraquat by 2028 due to Parkinson’s links, despite farmer opposition.
Minnesota lawmakers are pushing a ban on the herbicide paraquat, linked to Parkinson’s disease, amid a nearly doubling of its use last year, while also proposing a $25 million research fund to advance treatments.
The legislation, which includes a phased phase-out by 2028, aims to reduce public health risks, particularly for farmworkers and rural communities, though farmers argue it’s essential for weed control.
The research fund, still awaiting a hearing, seeks to position Minnesota as a national leader in Parkinson’s science.
