TAKE ACTION TODAY TO HELP STOP DICAMBA.
(Public comments to the EPA are due by 11:59PM Eastern Time, Monday, June 3, 2024.)
Less than four months after a U.S. District Court overturned the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) 2020 approval of several dicamba herbicide formulations, Bayer-Monsanto is back with yet another dicamba formulation. Banned by federal courts not once, but twice, Bayer wants the EPA to rubber-stamp it again.
In this application for new use to the EPA, Bayer is proposing new rules for dicamba’s use that would supposedly limit the herbicide’s ability to cause the massive damage that it has previously caused.
We’ve seen it all before. These new rules are a sham and will not prevent future damage. First, dicamba is ultra-volatile and can drift for miles beyond its area of direct application. Nothing will change this. Second, as conventional GMO farmers have proven in the past, they will not follow the rules even if the rules help.
Eight years of dicamba use on dicamba-tolerant GMO crops shows us that there is no way to use this toxic herbicide without causing immeasurable collateral damage and harm. Dicamba must be banned once and for all.
Unless you raise your voice, the EPA will, once again, bend to Bayer. Tell the EPA: Three strikes and you’re out. DO NOT APPROVE DICAMBA.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Dicamba is a highly toxic, volatile, and drift-prone herbicide known to be able to spread for miles beyond its area of application, killing or damaging all vegetation in its path. The herbicide is so volatile that it has the potential to re-aerosolize and drift days after its application in certain weather conditions, making it very difficult, if not impossible, to track back to the source.
GMO farmers’ reliance and overuse of glyphosate on GMO glyphosate-tolerant crops since the mid-1990s has caused weeds to evolve resistance to the herbicide. These “superweeds” can’t be killed with glyphosate. So Monsanto developed new GMO crops able to tolerate over-the-top spraying of both glyphosate and dicamba.
The USDA deregulated Monsanto’s dicamba-tolerant soybean and cotton seeds in 2015.
In 2016, the EPA approved certain dicamba formulations for over-the-top spraying on Monsanto’s GMO soy and cotton. Despite the sounding of alarm bells by some farmers and environmental groups like GMO/Toxin Free USA, EPA gave these dicamba formulations the rubber stamp.
Since EPA’s approval, dicamba drift has been responsible for damaging or destroying many millions of acres of non-GMO soy, cotton and other food crops like sugar beets, rice, sweet potatoes, peanuts, peaches, and grapes and harming the livelihoods of non-GMO and organic farmers, and even GMO farmers who didn’t want to buy the new, expensive seeds. Dicamba drift has also caused widespread damage to oak trees, home gardens and landscape plantings.
And to add insult to injury, the USDA does zero testing of food crops for dicamba contamination. So we also don’t know how much of this chemical is entering into people’s diets.
In South Dakota, Little Shire Farm, an organic farm run by John and Lisa Zuhlke, was devastated multiple times over multiple years by dicamba drift. “We got completely wiped out. We had to stop production. All of our CSA shares, community-supported agriculture shares-gone; farmers markets–gone.”
Richard Coy was forced to shut down Coy’s Honey Farm in Arkansas, the largest family-operated beekeeping operation in the state, and move it to Mississippi. Dicamba drift damaged the vegetation his bees depended on to live, and also resulted in “undesirable product.” “It’s very emotional, but you can’t let emotions get in the way of business decisions, and the best business decision is to not go broke,” said Coy.
Bader Farms, the largest peach orchard in Missouri, reported 1,000 acres of peaches damaged by dicamba drift over multiple years. Bill Bader’s peach farm was put out of business.
These are only a few of the thousands of cases of farms devastated by dicamba. Read more about Little Shire Farm, Coy’s Honey Farm, Bader Farms, and more.
Dicamba drift damaged an estimated 5 million acres of crops, trees and backyard gardens between 2016 and 2017 alone. Despite the massive reports of drift damage, in 2018 the EPA re-approved and expanded its use.
In 2020, a National Institutes of Health study, published in the journal International Journal of Epidemiology, found that the use of dicamba can increase the risk of developing numerous cancers, including liver and intrahepatic bile duct cancers, acute and chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and mantle cell lymphoma which may manifest up to 20 years after exposure. With dicamba’s ability to drift for miles, people in many areas of the country are now routinely forced to breathe in this dangerous chemical.
In July of the same year, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals vacated EPA’s registration of dicamba. But the Trump administration ignored the court order and re-registered dicamba through 2025.
In 2021, the EPA introduced minimal restrictions on dicamba use to address the drift issues. But by the Agency’s own admission, this did nothing to reduce dicamba drift damage. EPA’s own data shows dicamba has harmed thousands of farmers to date. The Agency’s December 2021 report states that these numbers are likely an undercount by 25 times.
Through the 2022 and 2023 growing seasons, it was the same song, different verse. With EPA’s inaction, more damage and health harms were documented across America.
“I would like everyone to contact the EPA… If we can get enough people to rise up and say ‘enough is enough, we don’t want to poison our food’, maybe we can get something changed,” said beekeeper Richard Coy in a past interview.
On February 6, 2024, the U.S. District Court of Arizona overturned the 2020 dicamba registrations that allowed over-the-top applications of three dicamba products, XtendiMax, Engenia and Tavium. The second court order in four years!
Yet, in May 2024, the Biden administration’s EPA announced it is considering an application from Bayer-Monsanto to register a new dicamba formulation. The EPA is colluding with Bayer to perpetuate a scam on Americans, again.
When will this end? After eight years of devastation caused by dicamba use, there is a single sane conclusion: The only way to use dicamba safely is to not use it at all. Demand that the EPA reject Bayer’s new dicamba application. Ban dicamba.

No more GMO, this needs to stop. Bayer should be responsible for all the loss and destruction,
People and animals, all living things need to eat untainted good foods, drink untainted water , and not be slowly poisoned to death.
Cheryl Cummings
I agree with you 100%.
What good is the EPA ands the FDA if they are going to allow the toxins in everything we use and eat AND breathe!!
Barbara Jo Stevens
Totally agree!!!
KAREN FINCH
Ban Dicamba
No more poisons!
Jean Handy
We need to find out what officials are on “the take”!
It’s obvious people are bribed to keep passing legislation to let this keep happening.
Until cancer kills their kid, or the suddenly can’t buy a peach…maybe they’ll finally see the destruction of these chemicals in our foods and water supplies.
Bruce Slater
Ban dicamba
Marija Minic
Stop poisoning us!
IL Sheehan
Leave me the spots on the apples but leave me the birds and the bees…J. Mitchell. !
Joanne Kaplan
The EPA must reject Bayer’s new dicamba application. Ban dicamba from being used and causing more harm & devastation.
Jolayne Justice
For Pete’s stop poisoning our food and environment
Manny Garcia
Stop poisoning us!!!!
Connie Murphy
The chemical can drift into urban areas and even towards organic farms. Just today a nationwide recall happened on a tea called “Yogi” herbal tea because it is possibly contaminated with pesticides & herbicides.
Alex
Please no more cancer its not worth it
Rita Rothman
Till we have a real Congress that actually knows and WORKS and learns what flying into the 21st century really means. I just don’t understand why half of Congress is not in federal prison. We need all the help we can get.
Sue Noel
Yes.
Lori Alicie
Better living through chemistry? No. Stop poisoning humans and animals!
Kara J. Evens
Stop poisoning us and the Earth for profit. You are disgusting!
Marguerite Donnay
Please do your job for our country. Save the planet.
Ava Evans
No more poisonous dicamba used on our Foods! Stop poisoning Americans!
Katherine Wright
These deadly chemicals/poisons need to be banned NOW.
Peter Stepaniuk
Ban Dicamba now and forever.
Elaine Donovan
More devastation to the environment by Bayer. The EPA must be the watchdog and protect us & the environment from detrimental poisons.
Patricia A McGowan
I don’t see the petition but I completely agree the EPA is not working for the good of it’s citizens and should reject consideration to reformulate Dicambia and stop any further use or application of Dicambia on the earths surface. Halt Biden’s administration from considering a newly restructured method using this totally harmful chemical Dicambia!!!
Carole G. Whitehead
Any TOXIN that drifts as badly as DICAMBA should be taken off the market and out of production immediately and all remaining supplies taken off shelves and SAFELY (IF THAT’S EVEN POSSIBLE) DESTROYED. DICAMBA’S DRIFT-RATE makes it an added DANGER TO POLLINATORS, also.
Linda
What EPA, where, not in America!!! They don’t care & they don’t protect us from anything much at all!! If they cared they wouldn’t think twice about allowing/enabling this company to make people ill with all the toxins saturating our food! AND ROUNDUP, DON’T GET ME STARTED!! All they care about is profit & people’s health is unimportant to them. YOU KNOW THEY WON’T FEED THEIR OWN FAMILIES THE FOOD THAT’S BEEN SATURATED WITH THE CRAP THEY PUT ON ALL THE FOODS GROWING IN THE FIELDS!!! So if they wouldn’t why would they allow us to consume it? They could possibly go back into their labs & create solutions less toxic to utilize if they cared at all about the American people? But they don’t!! Europe doesn’t allow or use this crap & that speaks volumes! WHY DOES OUR GOVERNMENT & THE EPA ALLOW IT? BECAUSE THEY DON’T CARE EITHER!!
Brenda
We cannot keep allowing chemicals on our food that cause health problems to humans, the environment and the planet. Your job is to make sure this doesn’t happen so do it.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter.
Sincerely,

Susan Walls
This is frightening. Our fish contains plastic, our food contains herbacides, and we wonder where cancer comes from? I don’t even trust labels that say organic. Money is the bottom line., always!
Edward Roberts
Please stop Monsanto and other chemical and petrochemical companies from poisoning our people- the voters- and their children; and our food supply. Please…
Julie Ann McCarroll
It’s long past time for the EPA to actually work to protect the environment and stop being corporate lackey’s. ENOUGH!!!
Barbara bradshaw
Why are you approving these toxic chemicals? You know they are poison to humans and animals and fish. Shame on you.
Barton Grimm
Why don’t they come up with a trumpicide?
Dennis and Susan R Kepner
YES!!!!!!! GREAT idea!!
Tracy
Please reject Bayer’s new dicamba application. Please ban dicamba. People need to have healthy food, not have their bodies poisoned with chemicals. Someone has to stand up to big pharma.
PAT MCGREAL
Why is the USA so backwards with usingand making toix products andusingengrediants that are carcinagenics? Its saddining that the money and profit come above the earth and people trying to live a healthy life on it
Nancy Mulrey
It should be obvious that our food system is not harmful. Killing/sickening people, pollinators, wildlife is beyond depraved.
Rosemary Colson
One doesn’t know when buying food whether that food is poison! The fact that seed for our food or the actual grown food has been poisoned by the use of poisonous sprays. Not only is
our food possibly poison, the spray is dangerous for farmers and anyone helping with the growing of our food. THIS MUST STOP!!
anne Pearson
These poisonous chemicals must be stopped, they are ruinous to local farm production!
Sharon Baker
When ALL the air, land and water are polluted and ALL the trees and birds are dead you will then realize you and your progeny can’t eat money…..
Water is our liquid gold. Protect it!!!!
JOHN P.
EPA = A COVER FOR BIG AG, CHEMICAL MAKERS…!!! EPA DOES NOT STAND UP FOR NATIONS HEALTH BUT RATHER ALLOWS ENDLESS POISONING OF OUR FOOD SUPPLY, OUR SOIL, OUR WATER WAYS-GROUND WATER…!!!! COMPLICIT IN ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION ; COMPLICIT IN ALLOWING POISONS TO ENTER FOOD SUPPLY = CHILDREN ARE NOW EATING TOXIC CHEMS WITH EVER YMEAL…!!!! EPA = CRIMINALS …!!!1 LIARS….!!!!! FRAUDS…!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SCUM….!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fredricka Laurian
Stop using Dicamba. Our health should be the priority. As usual Bayer Monsanto and the govt. poison us. Then we’re forced to seek unaffordable medical care and we’re further poisoned with costly
unproven medications for health issues we never would have had, if we had not been consuming poison. All this for their profit. It’s outragrous and we need to stop this corrupt cycle.
Alyce Widman
Reject Bayer’s new dicamba application. Ban dicamba. When is the EPA actually going to protect our environment and stop these poisons from affecting us ALL?
Jon Krueger
WHERE’S THE BRAIN TRUST WHO APPROVES THIS JUNK? THE EPA CAN DO BETTER. SO CAN FARMERS.

Do Not Approve Bayer-Monsanto’s Dicamba Herbicide Again!
Bruce Hlodnicki
Big Ag must stop poisoning our food!
When they abuse toxic pesticides, they don’t only kill every kind of insect nearby. They also poison the farm workers and their families. And to a lesser extent everyone who eats the fruits, vegetables and grains.
There are better ways to grow our food.
Organic farms have proven that there not only is a better way but that it can be profitable!
A.L. Steiner
THREE STRIKES AND YOU’RE OUT. DO NOT APPROVE DEADLY AND TOXIC BAYER-MONSANTO’S DICAMBA HERBICIDE AGAIN!

Please stop Bayer-Monsanto from poisoning us.
Judith Anne Ackerman
Stop messing around and poisoning the world, damnit!!
Pamylle Greinke
Eight years of dicamba use on dicamba-tolerant GMO crops shows us that there is no way to use this toxic herbicide without causing immeasurable collateral damage and harm. Dicamba must be banned once and for all.
Karen Kirchdoerfer
We need fewer pesticides, not more! What about “no bees, no food” don’t you idiots get? Or is it just that you simply don’t care as long as the proper pockets are lined?
Linda Fighera
After eight years of devastation caused by dicamba use, there is a single sane conclusion: The only way to use dicamba safely is to not use it at all. EPA reject Bayer’s new dicamba application. Ban dicamba.

The FDA, needs to stop allowing Bayer/Monsanto, big AG and the forces that want to ruin our country’s agriculture through destroying smaller, organic, or simply conscientious framers
Their profit and dominance and control are not worth our health, wealth or very existence,
and they know it, yet still try to kill whatever they can, environmentally, economically, socially and legislatively. ,
Donna K. Bishop
The use of Dicamba is killing mankind and our environment and should be stopped. It’s time to get back to farming following how God Designed His Creation by building up our soil through cover crops and other natural means. Healthy soil is resistant to disease, insects and weeds.
Lisa Stone
I join all those urging the EPA to protect our health by rejecting ALL use of Dicamba.
It’s illogical to continue using poison in any connection to food supply.
I. Engle
Three Strikes and You’re Out.
Do Not Approve Bayer-Monsanto’s Dicamba Herbicide Again!

This must be banned. Why are you being so slow, so stupid, so blind to the truth of these horrible chemicals !!!
Laura Ellen Mazar
There is no justification for the use of any product as toxic and as drift prone as dicamba! I do not want this poison on my food or in the ecosystem we need for survival. Bayer-Monsanto has a terrible history and cannot be trusted at all! Ban dicamba completely!
Edward Laurson
America is finally waking up to all the chemicals out there and what is put in our foods . Just stop it.

Stop using this poison now.
Meg Chrisler
We are losing all sorts of pollinators at a rapid speed because of the overuse of pesticides. And without pollinators we will ultimately have no food. In addtion, the overuse of toxic pesticides is ruining the land, the water supply, and ultimately our earth.
This has to stop immediately.
Karen Deckel
I am so disgusted! We should not have to beg and plead to have CANCER CAUSING TOXIC PESTICIDES REMOVED FROM USE!!! I DEMAND YOU STOP PRODUCING THIS POISON ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!! I DEMAND YOU STOP ALL USE OF THIS DEATH!!!! GET RID OF DICAMBA NOW AND FOREVER!!!!!
STOP ALL THE POISONS THAT BAYER-MONSANTO CREATES AND MARKETS NOW!!!! THEY NEED TO GO IMMEDIATELY!!! TRY CREATING NON-HARMFUL SAFE FOR USE PRODUCTS THAT DON’T KILL HUMANS AND ANIMALS PLUS SAFE FOR OUR ENVIRONMENT PRODUCTS!!!! GET WITH THE TIMES AND TRY SAVING OUR EARTH!!!

As a multilingual Rehabilitation and VA Hospital Therapist I spent 34 years rehabilitating patients and their children harmed by toxic chemicals ( the Erin Brockovich polluted water caused brain tumors in toddlers who did not recover or survive) and farm workers from the California Central Valley and Coachella ( farm workers with multiple strokes, permanent respiratory illnesses and cancers). Do NOT reapprove these chemicals for the love of God!
Ray Malinda
What’s it take to understand the danger of these pesticide “solutions” that destroy more than they supposedly help. Things that kill any living organism, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, can’t possibly be safe for higher on the food chain, like us, organisms made up of parts essential to its life. Not so common sense tells us that.
Sue Noel
Good comment. Then take into consideration the toxins that are being sprayed from the skies and from ships to “dim the sun”. As if dimming the sun is good for plants, animals, humans. The toxins are killing trees from the top down. There is no end to the perfidy.
Serena Alvarez
STOP NOW!!! Let’s get back to organic farming! If we don’t take care of our Earth, it won’t take care of us! It needs to start NOW!!

NOTHING NEW has happened since the last time I wrote in to stop this…
except, rumor has it the Bayer-Monsanto boys has their black hats on, & may be on the move…
sending their gang to lay waste to the Farm & hurt the ranch hands?
maybe stick up the Market?
as DICAMBA RIDES AGAIN?
Where’s that good-for-nuthin lazy half-wit Sherriff E.P.A. when you need ’em?
ASLEEP AGAIN like last time?
Thomas Talbot
Shortsightedness and greed is behind all the poisons ruining our earth. Stop the production of these hazardous, toxic pesticides and fossil fuels before any more hell is created on earth. The EPA is already dealing with unending environmental disasters across the nation, yet these companies keep pushing to bankrupt & destroy everything in their path of greed.

Enough is enough. You’re destroying everything.
Darold K Smith
Chemical insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides have side effects other than blocking the intended targets, the more so if they are persistent.
Their use also weakens resistance of the intended beneficiary to the attacking organism.
The unintended, and usually denied or minimized claims of side effects to the environment are glossed over to maximize profit for the toxin manufacturer and user.
Trying to “poison” our way to increasing crop yields without disrupting the ecosystem beyond repair.

Plz choose to do the right and wise thing. This stuff is more abt killing than living. This is very destructive. Why would you want to use poison on our foods and lands and environment? There are much better and healthier choices available. Plz don’t let greed get in the way in making good and wise decisions for everyone and everything. It matters. Choose life! Thank you!

Richard McDonald
As a person who values nutritious, ORGANIC, chemical-free food for myself and my grand kids, I must say that the FDA MUST (FINALLY) do it’s job! (by protecting farm workers, growers, and neighbors of growers, who choose to use this TOXIC chemical product FROM HARM…. BY BANNING Dicamba in ANY form…. 100% from our country… and also NOT ALLOW foods grown using this toxic product, to be sold ANYWHERE in the United States (no matter WHERE they come from, in this world. It is FAR PAST the time when the FDA should have already MANDATED that ALL of our food be grown, using 100% ORGANIC methods. So Do your job, FDA, and start us on that road to ORGANIC, and to NOT POISONING OUR PLANET with Dicamba ! DO NOT COLLUDE WITH CORPORATIONS !
