Case Summary:Monsanto and an Executive Committee Council (ECC) are choosing to settle a multi-district litigation consolidating cases relating to the Monsanto herbicide dicamba. Dicamba is meant to be used on dicamba-resistant crops. However, the complaints against Monsanto alleged that it can spread to other fields nearby and can cause damage to other crops, particularly soybeans. This settlement is intended to resolve the claims of soybean growers for dicamba damage to their commercial crops for growing years between 2015 and 2020.
