University of Missouri weed scientist Kevin Bradley emphasizes the importance of careful planning and neighbor communication for farmers considering dicamba herbicide use in the upcoming growing season. Bradley stresses that dialogue between agricultural neighbors will be essential for successful implementation.

As dicamba herbicide prepares to return for the 2026 growing season, agricultural experts are emphasizing the need for extensive preparation and coordination among farming communities.
Kevin Bradley, a weed scientist at the University of Missouri, is advising farmers who are considering over-the-top dicamba applications for weed control to prioritize careful preparation and open dialogue with neighboring operations.
“Talk, talk, talk. You’ve got to talk to your neighbors about what you intend to do with planting so there can at least be [coordination],” Bradley stated, highlighting the critical importance of communication in agricultural planning.
The expert’s recommendations focus on three key areas: comprehensive training, strict adherence to regulatory guidelines, and thorough advance planning before implementing dicamba treatments during the growing season.
