Late soybean planting in Minnesota is causing a delay in spraying the crop. Farmer applicators want a later application date (for dicamba). The Minnesota Agriculture Department’s Commissioner Dave Frederickson says Minnesota will not extend the deadline for applying dicamba. Minnesota Crop Production Retailers Association Executive Director Bill Bond says if there are violations of the rules and if there is extensive damage to crops off target, farmers may not be able to use the product in the following years. “This is a really important test year for us.” Bond says retailers are advising applicators to follow the dicamba label. “We’ll know more by the end of the month and early July if there’s any drift.”
