Grain from some types of corn is not yet approved for import by the European Union. It is necessary for the grower and grain handlers to segregate this grain. Agricultural companies and organizations have developed the Market Choices program to help producers identify these products.
The Market Choices symbol is placed on seed bag tags, seed catalogs and other promotional materials to remind growers of their responsibility to market grain from these products through appropriate market channels. Growers can find grain elevators that handle Market Choices corn by contacting their grain handler or by visiting the ASTA Grain Handler's Database.
Grain Stewardship
Wyffels Hybrids is in full support of the goal of the Market Choices program to maintain the integrity of corn markets by segregating corn not approved for use in the European Union from conventional corn. You may visit the Market Choices website for additional information.
Growers should refer to Monsanto's Technology Use Guide for information on crop stewardship regarding the potential movement of pollen to neighboring crops. ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW PESTICIDE LABEL DIRECTIONS. |

Important Info
The following information is current as of 01/01/08: YieldGard Plus and YieldGard Rootworm with Roundup Ready Corn 2 are grandfathered for import and use in processed feed in the European Union.
YieldGard Plus with Roundup Ready Corn 2, YieldGard VT Rootworm/RR2, and YieldGard VT Triple are neither approved nor grandfathered and there is zero tolerance for these traits in processed feed imported in the E.U. Growers of all products bearing the Market Choices mark must talk to their grain handler to confirm the handler's buying position for grain from these products.
It is a violation of national and international law to move material containing biotech traits across boundaries into nations where import is not permitted. |
