Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson has decided to move forward with the state Plant Board’s proposal to ban dicamba. In a letter to the Arkansas Secretary of Agriculture and the director of the Arkansas Plant board, the Governor said the volume of complaints do justify emergency action.
Hutchinson approved the dicamba emergency rule and it now heads to state’s Legislative Council for review. The Legislative Council’s next meeting is July 21. Approval would put a 120-day moratorium on any further in-crop use of dicamba.
