The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed a draft label for the first dicamba formulation (M1691) for dicamba-tolerant soybeans. The American Soybean Association (ASA) has two main objections to the draft label. First, we oppose the prohibition on the common practice of tank mixing, and second, the draft’s impractical 110-foot perimeter buffer requirement.
The comment period for this draft runs through Tuesday, May 31, and we need farmers from a broad range of states and growing regions to submit comments on this matter.
