ST. LOUIS, Mo. The
National Corn Growers As
sociation (NCGA) is urging
farmers to insist that seed
companies verify that the hy
brids being sold have been
tested for the presence of
Cry9C, the Star Link Bt.
“It isn’t a typical question
growers ask when buying
seed, but it’s an extremely
important one this season.
USDA has said that no
Cry9C corn would be sold or
grown in 2001,” said Fred
Yoder. The Plain City, Ohio,
farmer is chairman of the
NCGA Corn Board’s

Group. “The message is
simple: Verify before you
buy.
“This information will be
readily available from seed
companies. In late December,
USDA recommended that
seed companies sample and
test all hybrid seed lots and
all seed parent lines for the
presence of Cry9C. Any seed
testing positive for Cry9C
would be channeled into feed
or non-food industrial use.
USDA also recommended
that the seed companies pro
vide the verification informa
tion to customers when
customers ask for it.

“Every corn grower needs
to take reasonable precau
tions to avoid Star Link ap
pearing in the 2001 crop.
Insisting on the USDA
recommended seed testing
plan is the first step in assur
ing the integrity of the 2001
harvest,” Yoder said.
