Missouri lawmakers to hold hearing on illegal herbicide
Republican state Rep. Don Rone requested that the House Select Committee on Agriculture hold the meeting, citing a recent report from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that there've been more than 100 complaints filed with the Department of Agriculture about pesticide drift.
A news release says some farmers planted a soybean variety resistant to dicamba, and a new herbicide meant to be applied to that variety hasn't been approved by the Environmental Protection Agency.
