EPA, farmers and Bayer are fighting in an Arizona federal court to keep the controversial herbicide dicamba on the market for over-the-top use.

Thousands of producers who have filed complaints with state agencies or the EPA about off-target dicamba damage could end up as plaintiffs following a federal jury's decision to award $265 million to a Missouri peach farm, plaintiffs' attorneys say.

Following a $15 million award for compensatory damages, a federal jury has awarded a Missouri peach farm $250 million in punitive damages in its dicamba drift case against Bayer and BASF.
