Monsanto offers cash-back program for hot-button weedkiller

摘要

Monsanto Co. is offering a cash-back incentive for farmers who spray an herbicide based on the controversial pesticide dicamba, as several states look to roll back the chemical's use. The programs could give farmers a refund next year of 50 percent of the price of XtendiMax with VaporGrip, the company's dicamba-based product, if they use it on soybeans designed by Monsanto to resist the herbicide, according to company data.
