A suit against Monsanto and other companies over alleged dicamba crop damage seeks compensation and the removal of the technology from the market. Plaintiff’s attorney Paul Lesko tells Brownfield the suit focuses on Monsanto’s Xtend dicamba-tolerant technology that he says has resulted in drift injury to crops that do not have tolerance to dicamba. In addition to damages, Lesko wants an injunction against the technology because he says farmers might feel compelled to plant Xtend soybeans simply to avoid dicamba drift injury.
