I didn't read anything that says it will be banned on corn or using it as a burndown in the spring. Maybe I missed it but I don't see where it will be banned, it'll just be taken off the label to be sprayed on beans and such. Rather stupid in my opinion. Dicamba was being used long before dicamba tolerant beans were put on the market and I'm sure it'll be used for a long time yet. I used a low volatility formulation of dicamba mixed with glyphosate as a burn down on corn ground this spring. I sprayed right next to some 3 year old trees that the wind was blowing in their direction. I was worried about my trees so I stayed a little bit away from them and lowered my booms as low as could to minimize any drift. Haven't noticed any damage, I'm sure if I looked real close I might find some leaves with damage but I'm not worried I'm going to kill them.Farmers need to do everything they can to minimize drift and hurting others crops and trees. Mainly they just need to use common sense and not spray during times of inversion or bad wind conditions. There are low drift nozzles, and drift reduction additives. Rather stupid to ban the use of dicamba on beans because a few people ruin it for the rest.I won't even comment on the idiotic eyexer comment above.</blockquote>
