Update on Dicamba in Arkansas
source
This is an update on the Dicamba lawsuit Monsanto bought against the citizens group in Arkansas that control what chemicals are sprayed there.
Bottom line is the court ruled in favor of the citizens.
It’s back to the drawing board for Monsanto, after an Arkansas state judge refused to overturn a ban on the use of the company’s Dicamba herbicide between April 16 and October 31.
The problem with Dicamba is it evaporates quickly under certain circumstances and drifts onto other fields and farms. Causing great damage to farms that do not use the product. The Arkansas board that oversees the use of chemicals had over 1000 complaints because of Dicamba drift and one murder is linked directly to the drift issue.

Good to see "The People" win against big corporations for a change. Hope this sets a precedence with more to come.
It is beautiful when the real good guys win.
In the main article I got the information from, Monsanto's lawyers are looking at how to beat these people down still. They have one person on the supreme court even. Justice Thomas was a Monsanto Lawyer. So the cards are stacked against anyone that has to actually go to court against them. Many farmers have been sued because Monsanto GMO have drifted into a field that was not planted with GMO crops. Monsanto trespasses then gets a sample of the crop and then sues based on the genetic make up of the crop. Many small farmers have been ruined because of it.
It is time we gained control over our nation again and got the Politicians, Banksters and Corporations to submit to "we the people".
Hey thanks for stopping by I always enjoy reading your articles. We will be coming home for a 6 week trip soon.
I was raised in rural Illinois and all of my friends were farm boys. I walked beans and detassled corn when growing up and most of the farm families I knew back then have sold out to corporate farming. So sad that corporations like Monsanto could break apart the roots of this country for profit. They will get their day! So where exactly are you coming home to?
Iloilo Philippines. We have a small farm there where we will be moving permanently soon. Were coming home for 6 weeks to fix some issues and plant fruit trees and fence lines of Gemilina Trees. Were super excited we have not been home for 4 years.
After living there for 5 years, we are now sharing our time with the Island of Guam!
I wanted to ask you about that. What is it like in Guam? Is there a reason for that? I was thinking you just were going for medical? You have a house there too, or renting? We have looked at Guam as an option but never been there long enough to look around much.
We would ideally like to spend 6 here (Any US location) and 6 there. So we don't get burned out or that anyone would be able to figure out a pattern to rob us or something.
Check out my blog article explaining our original trek to Guam. After living here for about a year now (we've taken two trips back to PI), we have come to the realization that while the Philippines is a beautiful place in most aspects, it is still third world - including medical, pollution and air quality, noise, etc. Guam is nearly the same good culture, but with American standards applied. And since you've asked, I think I will put out an article about living on Guam!
Beautiful @lovenfreedom and I will be excited to read it!
Ok I am baffled that you did not obtain her US citizenship.
I got @lovenfreedom s as soon as the 3 years passed. We actually filed all the paperwork ourselves and did it in advance of the date for Naturalization. I wanted to make sure she was covered and my children were covered as well. She now has re-established her Philippine citizenship and her and all 4 of my Children have 2 passports. US and the Philippines. I am the only one with only a US passport. Now we are trying to figure out a way to get out of The mainland of the US before the next civil war.
Man I have to pick your brain about the Philippines. You are way more patient than I. I am thinking I shouldn't move there if you cant deal with it?
We bought 8 acres in Iloilo that was the Asawa's Great Aunts. We were wanting to convert it to an organic orchard and farm from a current conventional farm. We have owned it for 9 years now and unless we show up none of the work gets done the way we want it.
We had a deep well put in and a professional survey. We have a small Kubo but no facilities and electric on it yet. All the Title work and kutong paying done so far!
Anyway we are torn on whether or not to sell it and move on or jump in the deep end and get er done.
