Dare to Put Channel to the Test With Seed Showcase

Bayer wants farmers to be confident that they are putting the best seed in the ground. Through Seed Showcase, participating farmers may receive a protocol payment if a recommended Channel^® corn product yields less than a Pioneer^® corn product in a split-plant trial. Bayer is partnering with farmers to help optimize yield and profitability potential and manage product selection risk.

Seed Showcase Protocol

The Seed Showcase provides potential for a performance-based protocol payment on acres planted with Channel products (excluding replanted acres). Farmers will provide information by field on the Pioneer products they plant and then select from a list of recommended Channel products. In the fields where the selected Channel product yields less than the selected Pioneer product, the farmer will earn $6.00 per bushel protocol payment for all planted Channel acres, excluding replants, up to a 10 bushel per acre maximum.

Benefits

• Partnering with Bayer
• Potential for performance-based protocol payment
• Potential dealer involvement
• Access to highest performing products
• FieldView^™ Support

Example

FIELD SIZE: 100 acres = 50 Channel acres + 50 Pioneer acres
REPLANT: 10 Channel acres + 10 Pioneer acres
PERFORMANCE TRIAL AREA: 40 Channel acres (50 first planted - 10 replant acres) v. 40 Pioneer acres (50 first planted - 10 replant acres)
PAYMENT AREA: 40 acres of Channel first planted

EXAMPLE 1 PERFORMANCE RESULTS: Pioneer yields 5 bu/a advantage over Channel
Payment Calclulation: 50 acres x 5 bu/a Pioneer advantage x $6.00 = $1,500

EXAMPLE 2 PERFORMANCE RESULTS: Pioneer yields 15 bu/a advantage over Channel
Payment Calculation: 50 Channel first planted acres x 10 bu/a (cap) Pioneer advantage x $6.00 = $3,000
