"Know Where to Go" with Roundup Ready Corn
AMES, Iowa -- Posters highlighting the need to deliver Roundup Ready corn to an accepting site are being distributed to grain handlers in Illinois, Indiana and Iowa. The "Know Where to Go" poster was developed by corn grower associations, extension organizations and grain handler associations in Illinois, Indiana and Iowa to foster communication between producers and grain handlers. Iowa State University Extension and the Iowa Grain Quality Initiative produced and distributed the posters. A complete list of project cooperators is provided below.
Growers can visit the Iowa Grain Quality Initiative Web site at www.iowagrain.org to see which elevators in their area will accept Roundup Ready corn. Clicking on the "Know Where to Go" box in the upper left corner of the page takes users to a page that will help them find local grain handlers that accept Roundup Ready corn.
