- A Missouri jury’s $265 million award to peach grower Bill Bader in his lawsuit against herbicide providers Bayer and BASF has raised the stakes for the two companies as at least 140 similar cases head to U.S. courts later this year.
A jury in U.S. District Court in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, handed Bader, the state’s largest peach farmer, $15 million in actual and $250 million in punitive damages. He sued the companies saying his 1,000-acre orchard was irreparably harmed by herbicide that they produce, which drifted onto its trees from nearby farms.
Bayer said it was “disappointed with the jury’s verdict,” and plans to appeal. BASF also said it was “surprised and disappointed” by the decision and plans to appeal. Both companies said their dicamba-based herbicides are safe when used as directed. “We believe the evidence presented at trial demonstrated that Monsanto’s products were not responsible for the losses,” Bayer said.

This is a huge victory
So basically, the peach farmer has to sue the farmer that didnt follow the directions.
Why don´t you have a law, saying it´s illegal? Why can you buy the stuff? Why are you buying the stuff?
