Lindsay Mitchell, Marketing Director at Illinois Corn Growers Association, shared positive numbers on planting and emerging percentages on the 2020 planting season. 98 percent of Illinois corn is in the ground and 90 percent has emerged.
With the recent ruling on Dicamba, Mitchell explains what that means for Illinois corn farmers:
“We were excited to hear in Illinois, for sure, farmers can use any Dicamba product that they had already purchased on June 3rd when the registration for the product was vacated. That includes Xtendimax, Engenia and FeXapan. We are happy that farmers can still use them if they already purchased them. That was some good news we got this week.”
