Farmers get 40-cent premium for Enogen corn to offset stewardship costs

In Iowa, farmers are earning a 40-cent per bushel premium on Enogen corn that replaces the need for the alpha amylase enzyme in ethanol production. The premium is also meant to compensate for farmers having to have a 30-foot border of non-Enogen corn around each field. Stewardship and contracting was done online last season, a process which seemed to go well for Syngenta as well as growers.
