High winds and unfavorable weather conditions aren’t the only factors farmers are facing in 2020. Worries about weather is now turning into growing worries about the liability of spraying dicamba products right now.
“This was a bombshell ruling (about) all of this pesticide that was out there ready to be sprayed,” says Kristine Tidgren, director of the Center for Agricultural Law at Iowa State. “Suddenly it was unregistered.”
Tidgren says the 9th Circuit Court ruling released this month immediately cast confusion on farms across the Midwest.
