Grain Stewardship

Grain not yet fully approved by the European Union (E.U.) must be marketed through specific channels. Grain Stewardship, along with the Grain Marketing Communication Plan (GMCP) provides comprehensive channeling information that allows growers to confidently purchase, grow, and sell harvested crops to appropriate grain handlers.

2008 Grain Marketing Communication Plan form (YieldGard Plus with RR Corn 2): (GMCP form Plus RR2 form 2008)

2008 Grain Marketing Communication Plan form (YieldGard VT Rootworm/RR2 and YieldGard VT Triple): (GMCP Triple form 2008)

The Marker Choices designation found on seed bags and tags (shown below) will indicate to growers that the harvested grain must be handled accordingly.  The GMCP must be completed and will verify that proper markets are identified and channeling needs are understood.



Talk to your local grain handlers to verify grain acceptance.  You may also call 1-866-SELL CORN or visit www.866sellcorn.com for help in locating a grain handler near you that will accept your grain.  The
American Seed Trade Association website, www.amseed.org
is another good resource for you.
