The EPA releases its final herbicide strategy, outlining plans to reduce herbicide exposure to endangered species by focusing on spray drift and runoff mitigation.
The strategy includes options like permanent berms and subsurface tile drains to manage herbicide runoff. EPA says this will also offer more versatility for growers who have already implemented certain practices. While the strategy was based on public feedback, the American Soybean Association is voicing concern about its complexity, cost, and potential impact on farming practices.
