OABA Shares New Resources to Help Agribusinesses Navigate Endangered Species Act Requirements

As federal implementation of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) increasingly intersects with pesticide use and agricultural production practices, it is important for agribusinesses to understand potential compliance requirements and how they may affect operations.

To support its members, OSAP Member the Ohio AgriBusiness Association (OABA) has compiled a collection of practical resources, regulatory updates and educational tools to help agribusinesses navigate emerging ESA requirements.

Resources include:

• A presentation from the Ohio State University extension on EPA’s herbicide strategy
• A four-part ESA educational video series developed by CropLife America and industry partners
• Compliance checklists and mitigation guidance from OSU Extension, EPA and national agricultural organizations
• Live access to the EPA's bulletins for location-specific protections

These materials are designed to help agribusinesses reduce uncertainty, minimize operational disruption and maintain access to essential crop protection tools.

The OABA will continue monitoring ESA developments and updating this resource page as additional guidance becomes available.
