The Minnesota Soybean Growers Association along with the State Department of Agriculture is forming a task force to look into the problems related to Dicamba herbicide drift issues. Soybean Association President Michael Petefish says the group is being put together because of several dicamba complaints reported to the State Ag Department.

He says there is an urgent need to address this dicamba problem.

Petefish says there are a number of questions the task force needs to find answers to in order to solve problems caused by dicamba.

Petefish says they hope to have the task force together by early next week and to have a meeting scheduled soon after that.
