Farm groups are raising concerns about a recent trade ruling that could impact herbicide prices.
The U.S. International Trade Commission has determined that imports of 2,4-D from China and India are harming Corteva Agriscience, the only U.S. producer.
As DTN reports, the ruling could lead to new import duties, though the final rates have not yet been set. Corteva argued that the imported products were unfairly priced and undercut their sales.
Groups like the National Corn Growers Association and American Soybean Association say the decision could drive up costs and reduce access to a key weed control tool. They also say the timing could not be worse for U.S. farmers.
