*On April 18, 2005 the European Union (E.U.) notified that the following Monsanto corn traits already in the marketplace will be accepted (grandfathered) in processed feed: YieldGard Plus, YieldGard Rootworm, YieldGard Rootworm with Roundup Ready Corn 2, and YieldGard Corn Borer with Roundup Ready Corn 2. This action by the E.U. on these biotech products may result in additional marketing options for growers who plant seeds containing these traits. Growers must talk to their grain handler to learn more and to determine whether this development affects their ability to market or their decision to plant these traits. YieldGard Plus with Roundup Ready Corn 2 was not in the market, and therefore not qualified to be notified by the E.U. for acceptance in processed feed. Growers planting YieldGard Plus with Roundup Ready Corn 2 must talk to their grain handler to confirm the handler’s buying position for grain from this product |
