Identity preserved crops is a relatively new term in production agriculture.
Consumers are raising questions about biotech foods, and they are raising them in the nation's courts. For the producer, identity preserved crops starts at planting time and continues until the crop is sold. The program is archived for later viewing after 5 p.m. Wednesday. We'll be talking about ways a producer can manage the crop, what to do with the volunteer corn, and what steps producers could take to reduce potential legal liabilities. As more women manage the business side of their families' farms or ranches, many also become responsible for marketing.
