Feb. 9, 2026
Source: Agricultural Retailers Association news release
ARLINGTON, Va. - The Agricultural Retailers Association (ARA) President & CEO, Daren Coppock, released the following statement after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released updated guidance on over-the-top (OTT) dicamba application:
"ARA applauds EPA's recent decision that preserves the safe use of OTT dicamba while maintaining workable, label required mitigation measures for commercial applicators," said ARA's President & CEO, Daren Coppock. "ARA members have a strong record of responsibly managing dicamba applications and advancing the implementation of precision ag technologies that help growers control resistant and hard to manage weeds. OTT dicamba remains an essential tool for protecting yields and supporting soil health and environmental sustainability in cotton and soybean production."
ARA sent a letter to the EPA in the Fall of 2025, urging the EPA to adopt clear, workable label requirements for dicamba that help growers manage weeds effectively while supporting strong stewardship across the industry.
