Jury Awards $265 Million for Farmer Whose Crops Damaged by Dicamba
Bayer CEO Werner Baumann's $63 billion gamble on purchasing Monsanto continues to spiral downward. Not only is Bayer facing more than 43,000 glyphosate claims from Roundup users afflicted with cancer, but now, a small army of farmers are lining up to sue the company over dicamba, another Monsanto herbicide that has been destroying food crops.

Although such a ban would be temporary and still requires a vote from the full board as well as approval from the state lawmakers and the governor, Monsanto is already gearing up to fight any proposal that would put a dent in company profits.
