The University of Wisconsin’s soybean expert says his state has experienced less dicamba drift than others. Shawn Conley says, “I’m not going to say there hasn’t been any out there, but it hasn’t been to the extent of the I states.”
Conley tells Brownfield he believes the earlier start to the growing season helped prevent problems. “Wisconsin farmers got their soybeans to plant early, so we were able to get those applications on earlier than we normally would and really got into that window where the risk for our off-target movement was less.”
But Conley says he has at least one research plot at the Arlington Research Station that will need close observation for yield loss because of likely dicamba drift.
