National Corn Growers Association - Know Before You Grow

NCGA is firmly committed to the principle that U.S.-grown biotech hybrids yet to be approved in major export markets should not be placed into export channels. Because not all hybrids are approved for all export market uses, especially in the European Union (EU), corn growers should select hybrids with the full knowledge of whether they are conventional, fully approved for EU export, or not yet fully approved for EU export. Growers should read their grower agreements before planting and communicate with their grain buyers.
