Extended use of the controversial herbicide dicamba was approved by the Arkansas Plant Board earlier this year, but has now been stopped, at least temporarily, according to the Arkansas Department of Agriculture.
The 16th Division of the Pulaski County Circuit Court issued a temporary restraining order issued delaying implementation of the 2021 amendments to the State Plant Board’s dicamba rule extending use until June 10, at which time another hearing will be held. As a result of the temporary restraining order, the previous State Plant Board rules on pesticide classification regarding dicamba remain in effect and include the following.
In-crop application of dicamba shall be prohibited after May 25. A one-mile buffer in all directions must be maintained between the fields where dicamba is applied and research stations operated by the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture.

Entergy Arkansas, the state’s largest electric utility, is bounding ahead with plans for renewable energy generation, revealing a request for at least 300 megawatts of renewable generation projects to supplement its electrical supply by 2026.
Last week, the Little Rock subsidiary of Entergy Corp. of New Orleans announced it would accept proposals, and the utility said it is looking to issue the formalized request for proposals as early as next month. It expects projects to “provide cost-effective energy supply, fuel diversity and other benefits,” the company said.
“The request is expected to seek wind and solar resources located in either the Midcontinent Independent System Operator or Southwest Power Pool areas,” Entergy spokeswoman Kacee Kirschvink responded in reply to questions from Arkansas Business.

LITTLE ROCK, AR – Today, the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) and Sierra Club’s settlement with Entergy Arkansas to close two massive coal plants and a gas plant and build solar power was finalized by a judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas. The agreement to close the Independence and White Bluff coal plants and Lake Catherine gas plant by 2030 concludes years of litigation over air emissions between the utility and the environmental groups, although it was delayed when Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge attempted to intervene in the legal proceeding in December 2018. With today’s action by the federal court, closure of the two coal plants can proceed with certainty, which will save Arkansas electric ratepayers $2 billion through the avoided investment of commonly-used pollution controls that would have been required to continue operating the plants.
