Monsanto stays on the defense on dicamba as class action fight moves forward


With the 2018 growing season gearing up, eyes on wide swaths of the nation's farmland are sure to look out for continued damage from dicamba - divisive weed killer blamed for damaging millions of acres of soybeans and other plants over the last couple years. But much attention will also be on a Missouri courtroom, where Creve Coeur, Mo.-based biotech giant, Monsanto, is facing off in a proposed class action lawsuit with farmers who allege they were harmed by the hard-to-control herbicide notorious for its tendency to evaporate - or volatize - and move to other nearby areas.
