Grain Production in 2007

Farmers can produce grain that results in oil with modified traits independently or under contract with a company that will process and market the oil.

Identity Preservation

The varieties wiith modified oil must be kept separate from conventional varieties to preserve the value of the oil. For identity preservation, the soybeans must be:

• planted in fields where soybeans were not grown the previous year
• planted, harvested, and transported with equipment that has been thoroughly cleaned
• stored separately from conventional soybeans.

Premiums for Production

Farmers will be paid a premium for the extra time and other expenses associated with identity preservation, extra herbicide costs associated with the production of the non-GMO varieties, and any difference in yield between modified oil varieties and conventional varieties.
