This has been the worst year for dicamba drift complaints
since Minnesota implemented a June 20th application deadline three years
ago.
Joshua Stamper with the Minnesota Department of Agriculture says more than 70 complaints have been submitted.
“Right now we’re trying to work through to make sure that we can set up investigations for the complaints where they have requested an investigation. And we’ve primarily seen those complaints centered in southwest and south-central Minnesota.”
He tells Brownfield the complexity of the label coupled with
the chaos stemming from early June’s dicamba court ruling likely factored into
the increase in complaints.
