The proposed ban is scheduled to go before the Legislative Council, the Legislature\u2019s main governing body when lawmakers aren\u2019t in session, for a final vote on Jan. 19.<br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/>The Plant Board earlier this month stood by the proposed ban after lawmakers urged the panel to consider revising the proposal.<br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/>Dicamba has been around for decades, but problems arose over the past couple of years as farmers began to use it to kill invasive weeds in soybean and cotton fields where specially engineered seeds had been planted to resist the herbicide. Because it can easily evaporate after being applied, the chemical sometimes settles on neighboring fields planted with seeds that are not resistant to dicamba.<br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/>Lawmakers endorsed the ban after hearing from farmers who have been sharply divided over the restriction. The Plant Board last year approved a temporary ban on the herbicide\u2019s sale and use, and has received nearly 1,000 complaints about dicamba. Farmers have also complained about dicamba causing damage to their crops in other states, including Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota and Tennessee.<br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/>\u201cWe are only asking for a pause in this until we get our hands around this and figure out what we can do,\u201d David Wildy, a farmer from east Arkansas, told the panel. \u201cWe can\u2019t allow this to happen again.\u201d<br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/>Opponents of the ban said it would put Arkansas at a competitive disadvantage with other states that haven\u2019t gone as far in restricting the weed killer.<br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/>\u201cGive the farmers in this state an opportunity to compete with the rest of the U.S.,\u201d said Joe Mencer, a soybean farmer from southeast Arkansas.<br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/>Sen. Bill Sample, the Legislative Council\u2019s co-chairman, said he backed the ban even though he had initially asked the board to reconsider its proposal.<br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/>\u201cI was satisfied that the science was proven,\u201d the Republican lawmaker said.<br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/>Monsanto, which makes dicamba, has filed a lawsuit in Pulaski County Circuit Court challenging the ban and claiming the Plant Board exceeded its authority in prohibiting the weed killer. A hearing is scheduled next month in the Missouri-based company\u2019s lawsuit, which seeks to block the state from enforcing the ban.<br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/>\u201cThis vote would put Arkansas farmers at a serious disadvantage and we ask the executive committee to set this right for growers. We will continue to pursue our legal challenge. We will continue to stand with Arkansas growers who need new tools for weed control,\u201d Scott Partridge, Monsanto\u2019s vice president of global strategy, said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source: Insurance Journal<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arkansas lawmakers recommended regulators move forward  &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agrinoon.com\/agrochemicals\/zh\/arkansas-legislative-panel-backs-proposal-to-ban-dicamba-herbicide\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Arkansas legislative panel backs proposal to ban dicamba herbicide&#8221;<\/span><\/a><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"two_page_speed":[],"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[59],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-811","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
