Three different dicamba herbicide products are making a comeback in 2026 with new labels and new rules for use from EPA.

Whether farmers are aiming to use BASF’s Engenia, Syngenta’s Tavium, or Bayer's newly-renamed Stryax products, there are some changes that farmers and their applicators need to be aware of.

That’s why today, DTN Crops Editor Jason Jenkins is here to walk us through the very latest updates on the legal use of dicamba products. He’ll talk us through what’s changed on the labels — from temperature restrictions to acid equivalence per acre limitations — and what’s stayed the same, especially in terms of safety precautions.

Then, he’ll clarify some of the recent confusion around the annual maximum usage amounts, and talk us through some state-specific regulations that sit on top of the federal label in specific geographies.

Finally, we’ll learn more about the new Endangered Species Act points system that’s rolling out this year, and talk about where farmers can get more information about staying in compliance and using these products safely.

We’ve been keeping up with weather and crop conditions in Latin America from afar this winter, but any farmer will tell you that the national data doesn’t tell you as much as seeing a crop with your own eyes.

That’s one of the key reasons that DTN Progressive Farmer Editor in Chief Greg Horstmeier journeyed down to Brazil earlier this month, eager to put boots on the ground and bring us the latest updates on the Brazilian crop as it’s being harvested.

Today, we’ll hear about Greg’s trip down South, including what he saw of a large soybean crop and an equally promising corn harvest. He’ll offer insight on the infrastructure situation as the crop goes from field to bin to port, and give us an update on what he heard from farmers there as far as critical issues they’re facing, both this year and into the future.

On his way back home, Greg also stopped in Washington, D.C. to celebrate the 2026 National Ag Day on Tuesday, March 24th. He’ll tell us about the announcements he heard from U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins, and about the bigger conversations happening around the event about livestock, food, and the challenging state of affairs in the ag economy.

Finally, we’ll hear what Greg is working on next, flag stories he thinks are currently flying under the radar, and pay tribute to the ag communications great Orion Samuelson.

The March WASDE dropped Tuesday, March 10th, though its arrival was in part overshadowed by market concerns about an evolving conflict in the Middle East which has snarled energy and fertilizer supply chains that pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

As farmers, market analysts, and the USDA itself struggle to parse what the latest outbreak of fighting might mean for planting decisions and global supplies, the crop in Latin America is already being brought in.

As we work to parse this torrent of information, we’re joined once again by DTN Lead Markets Analyst Rhett Montgomery, who takes us beat-by-beat through the latest numbers and helps us keep market fundamentals in perspective even as many traders seem to ignore them. He guides us through the pressures that are weighing on prices today, including the basis for all three major grains, and what news he’s on the lookout for right now.

Then, he walks us down the balance sheets, noting USDA updates, especially on the world balance sheets, that might point to shifting conditions that could weigh on farmer decisions later this season.

Finally, we’ll hear what Rhett thinks will be driving the news in the days to come, from a planned trip for President Trump to China to weather conditions south of the border.
