Identity-preserved grains
Objectives:
- Evaluate the suitability and limitations of typical production practices for implementing identity preservation.
- Develop GIS and software tools for tracking and managing identity information for grain crops.
- Demonstrate an IP production system on three commodities (corn, wheat and soybeans) in Kentucky.
- Provide results, protocols, directions, and software to other producers and processors through Extension workshops, field days, and meetings.
- To determine the net profit potential and profit variability (risk) farmers in Kentucky could realize from growing these IP grains: edible beans, food-grade corn, corn grown for poultry companies, and wheat grown for Seimer Grain.
- To compare and contrast features of the various IP contracts such as price premiums,grain discounts, etc.
- To publish an enterprise analysis of the IP grains listed in Objective 1.
- To determine under what conditions the IP contracts prove most beneficial.
