The pilot biotech yield endorsement (BYE), available for the 2008 crop year, will allow the producer to receive a premium rate
reduction on non-irrigated corn for grain planted to hybrid varieties of corn that contain specific Monsanto triple-stack genetics.
BYE will be available for non-irrigated corn in all counties in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Minnesota. Producers will
be required to purchase an individual yield or revenue insurance plan (APH, RA, or
CRC) at a
buy-up level of coverage, and plant at least 75 percent of their corn acres on an insured unit to a corn hybrid
containing specific Monsanto triple-stack genetics.
