The Environmental Protection Agency is removing the registration for Dow AgroSciences’ Enlist Duo herbicide. EPA announced, in a court filing Tuesday, it will take this action based upon “synergistic effects” between glyphosate and 2,4-D, the herbicides that make up Enlist Duo. Gill Gullickson will have more on Agriculture.com soon.

The question I have is whether you are sitting on some Enlist Duo? And, will you be able to use it next spring? How will this affect your operation?

What's your reaction?

Mike, more than likely nobody is sitting on a large quantity of Enlist. It was tried on a limited amount of farms and the grain harvested was only to be fed to livestock. It seems the EPA and consumers want agriculture to take a step backwards. That's ok but they need to be willing to pay a premium for food in the future. We are running out of cheap, easy to use products to control weeds.
