Farmers across the U.S. will still have access to existing stockpiles of the widely popular herbicide Dicamba this season.
After requests from several ag groups, the EPA issued an order allowing existing stocks to be used this year. This includes Dicamba currently in the U.S. which was packaged and labeled before February 6th.
The ruling says distributors and retailers in possession of qualified stocks may sell them until the end-of-use date in their state.
In a statement after the EPA’s order, the National Cotton Council said in part, “We commend them for recognizing that growers had already committed to the seeds and crop protection products for the coming year, and no viable alternatives would have been available to meet the needs of U.S. producers.”
