MONSANTO EXECUTIVE COMMENTS ON POSSIBLE DICAMBA BAN IN ARKANSAS
Jul. 5, 2017
Red River Farm Network reports:
In a call with investors, Monsanto officials were asked about the dicamba drama that is happening in Arkansas. Monsanto President Brett Begemann downplayed the significance of the possible dicamba ban in Arkansas.
"Thirty-three of 34 states have approved our XtendiMax with VaporGrip Technology. Arkansas never approved that product. As we look at inquiries, it appears the plant board in Arkansas is getting a lot more inquiries than we are getting across the combined rest of the states."
Begemann says the introduction of the dicamba-tolerant product is the largest launch ever. "The number of inquiries we're experiencing would be normal for any product. Even products that have been established in the marketplace. We feel really good about where we're at. We'll work with every farmer to make sure they have a positive experience."
