2020’s Latest Quirk – Mystery Seeds from China
August 13, 2020
As technology’s importance has grown during 2020, ag retailers are finding using it much easier than before.
Despite its allusion to an exceptional vision term, this year has offered agriculture little “clear sight” thus far.
Because of all this uncertainty, many industry observers have speculated that 2020 could mark the end of the dicamba-tolerant crop experiment.
With a settlement now in place, questions regarding the world’s most popular herbicide should begin to ease going forward.
With its present seemingly secure, the focus now turns to what happens next for the herbicide.
In a numbers-obsessed world, here are some of importance to the farm market.
By the end of this year, EPA will have to decide whether or not to re-register dicamba for use during the 2021 growing season.
For the first time in memory, no in-person events will be taking place for ag retailers to attend this summer.
With most court cases at a standstill because of COVID-19, there is still some news to share on the popular herbicide.
According to the 2020 CropLife 100 Mid-Year Survey, 90% of respondents believe COVID-19 will have some kind of “negative financial impact”.
The calendar only says May at this point, but 2020 has already seemed like an incredibly long year, says editor Eric Sfiligoj.
Early results from the 2020 CropLife 100 Mid-Year Survey indicate “business as usual” for agriculture so far, with some worry for the months ahead.
It’s pretty clear to Editor Eric Sfiligoj that the agricultural industry has become the new “favorite target” of the U.S. legal profession.
As social distancing becomes the norm across the country, trade shows scheduled for further out in the year are still on the calendar.
Even with city and state lockdowns in place, agricultural workers can continue doing their jobs.
If observers are to be believed, 2020 is looking like it will be a more “normal” year than agriculture has seen over the past few seasons.
It wouldn’t be a normal ag year these days without something abnormal showing up, says CropLife Editor Eric Sfiligoj.
Right now, no one is quite certain what impact this new disease might have on the marketplace.
We may have reached the point in which the ag industry can’t even fight back against the multitude of misinformation.
