Monsanto Extends Deadline for Trait Crop Loss to September 30
Tue, 30 Aug 2011 11:29:29 CDT
Monsanto has extended the deadline for the Trait Crop Loss Program from August 31 to September 30 at the request of many cotton producers. The extension of this deadline will allow growers more time for insurance adjustments and to obtain and file the necessary paperwork that is required.
The guidelines for the Crop Loss benefits are as follows:
-The producer must have purchased Monsanto Trait technologies from an authorized dealer and must meet all requirements of the Roundup Rewards Program.
-The acres claiming crop loss benefits must be destroyed for the crop loss claim to be paid and is subject to verification.
-Any form of harvesting of affected acres will void the right to claim a Cotton Technology Crop Loss benefit.
-The extension applies only to irrigated acres due to severe drought conditions. Any other form of loss (wind, hail, flood, disease, pests, etc.) is not eligible for settlement under this submission deadline extension.
The extension applies to all Monsanto products with Genuity cotton traits regardless of the brand of cottonseed. The extension also applies to cotton growers in Oklahoma, West Texas, Kansas, and New Mexico.
