What is the Monsanto Reward Program for Sugarbeets?
• If a Roundup Ready sugarbeet crop is determined unacceptable for maintaining through harvest by the earlier of either (a) 60 days after planting or (b) July 15 of the current production year, the grower will not be charged the Herbicide Tolerance Payment (HTP or Tech Fee) for the units of seed used to plant such crop, provided the grower does not replant with Roundup Ready sugarbeet seed. • There may be additional enhancements to the programs to support the use of Roundup on sugarbeets but they have not yet been finalized. What happens if Roundup Ready Sugarbeets Have to Be Replanted? • If a grower replants with another seed company Roundup Ready variety – the seed company with the original seed refunds that tech fee, the alternative seed company supplying the Roundup Ready replant seed will then collect the tech fee. • Growers only pay the tech fee once per year. Can Growers Tank Mix Other Pesticides or Agrichemicals With Roundup? • Yes, if all components of the tank mix are labeled
