Dicamba use for 2020 in question due to federal court ruling
The U.S. Ninth Circuit of Appeals Court has vacated conditional registrations for Xtendimax, Engenia, and FeXapan dicamba herbicides.

Bayer stands fully behind our XtendiMax product. We are proud of our role in bringing innovations like XtendiMax forward to help growers safely, successfully, and sustainably protect their crops from weeds. We will continue working with the EPA, growers, academics, and others to maintain long-term access to this important tool.”

Not everyone agrees with that, though. “Today’s decision is a massive win for farmers and the environment,” said George Kimbrell of the Center for Food Safety (CFS), lead counsel in the case, in a CFS statement. “It is good to be reminded that corporations like Monsanto and the Trump Administration cannot escape the rule of law, particularly at a time of crisis like this. Their day of reckoning has arrived.”

Example of how this product is damaging our social fabric along with the environment:
