Northern Indiana | That hasn’t been our experience at all. I would definitely keep working toward some sort of reasonable settlement. Just last year we had Pioneer and a competitor bean in the same field. It was a Pioneer variety we had never used before that they had been high on and a competitor variety that has always done really well. After harvest it was obvious the Pioneer variety was a big underperformer and they said it wasn’t a surprise given results in other places with it. Like look at the yield map and see exactly to the row where it was. So we ended up getting the same number of units for free this year. And that was just for an E3 bean being an underperformer, not a non-gmo variety that should’ve been guaranteed a certain purity being contaminated. They should make it right. If Pioneer won’t there are other ways your seed dealer and his manager can make it right. They could give you some amount of seed for next year as free replant seed, although that might open a can of worms with the conspiracy guys knowing that there may be some gamesmanship of that type happening | |
