FARGO, N.D. — NDFB is glad to see the announcement from the North Dakota Department of Agriculture, removing the requirement that Dicamba could not be applied unless the NDDA was given prior notification.

NDFB shared its concerns with Agricultural Commissioner Doug Goehring regarding new North Dakota label requirements for the use of Dicamba, a crop protectant that’s important to a lot of farmers throughout our state, and throughout our nation.

“We were able to come to an agreement that regulation needs common sense and isn’t over-bearing and burdensome for those of us that are responsible for the use of products that are regulated,” said NDFB President Daryl Lies.

NDFB encourages responsible use of regulated products, to keep them available to farmers.

“Responsible regulation is needed, but responsible use, which in this case the record keeping is part of that responsible use, will keep that product available for us in coming growing seasons,” said Lies.
