About this episode

The episode discusses the Supreme Court case Monsanto v. Durnell and its implications for agricultural law.

It is not that common to have an agricultural law case at the United States Supreme Court, but this term, Monsanto v. Durnell was argued, and in June, the Justices issued their decision on the important questions of whether FIFRA's labeling requirements preempts state law failure-to-warn claims. Jennie Zwagerman joined me to talk through the case, the Opinion, and what this means going forward.
