Bayer to appeal $265M award in weedkiller lawsuit

Bayer (OTCPK:BAYRY) is appealing a jury’s verdict against it and BASF (OTCQX:BASFY) in a crop damage case which awarded $265M to a Missouri peach farmer.
Bill Bader sued the pesticide-and-seed makers after he said thousands of his fruit trees sustained damage in 2015 and 2016.
The damage, he alleged, was caused by a herbicide called dicamba that drifted from neighboring cotton fields, planted with dicamba-resistant biotech seeds developed by Bayer and BASF.
