Some crop insurance companies are refusing to pay farmers for dicamba-related damage to their soybeans. American Soybean Association President Ron Moore says he’s disappointed with their stance and it puts farmers in a tough position.
He says in most cases the cause of crop damage from dicamba hasn’t been determined. However, some insurance companies are still claiming it was volatility and are denying claims based on that ruling.
Moore says farmers are caught when they assume they’re covered by insurance and claims end up being denied.
Moore says it is encouraging EPA is calling for more education for those using and applying dicamba next season, as they’ve declared it a restricted use pesticide.
