The largest U.S. producer of glyphosate is offline due to the impacts of Hurricane Ida. Bayer Crop Science confirmed its Luling, La., site was offline as of Monday. However, the duration of the pause in production is still unknown. "In keeping with our regular hurricane emergency preparedness protocol, our Luling, La., site has been closed and securely locked down as Hurricane Ida passes through the area," says Kyel Richard, a spokesperson for Bayer. "A small emergency crew is sheltering in place on site to keep it secure. Our thoughts are with them, the people of Luling and everyone in this hurricane’s path."
