Protect Our Farmers and Families Act of 2025

This bill would ban the pesticide diquat right away. It tells the Environmental Protection Agency to cancel all approvals for using diquat and to remove any allowed amounts of diquat residue on food. It also blocks any future approval of diquat. The sale and use of any diquat that’s already on shelves would stop immediately upon the law taking effect.

What this means for everyday life: farmers and applicators would need to switch to other weed-control options, stores could no longer sell diquat products, and food safety rules would no longer allow any diquat residue on crops or food products.

• Who is affected: farmers, pesticide dealers, lawn and garden users, food producers, and consumers
• What changes: all diquat uses are canceled; existing stocks can’t be sold or used; EPA must revoke any food residue allowances; no future re-approval
• When: all of this takes effect on the date the law is enacted
