The American Soybean Association is demanding more answers and a solution regarding dicamba drift damage. ASA President Ron Moore says the issue isn’t going away and is only getting worse. So far there are a reported 2,200 complaints affecting 3.1 million acres of soybeans in 21 soybean growing states, and that number is expected to rise. He says his group is backing land grant university research to find the answers.

He says education programs on the technology are needed for farmers as well.

Moore says while soybean growers want and need dicamba to help fight resistant weeds, they also want to make sure other producers crops aren’t damaged.

Moore says it’s important to recognize the industry does not have all the data needed to clearly determine the causes of dicamba drift damage.
