Q: How are replants handled?
- A: Ask your Account Manager for the appropriate replant form. GENRRA trait replant credits can only be issued if the replant is for the same brand.
- The replanted field will need to be reported on the grower reporting form two times—one for the original planting and one for the replant. Please note the replant units.
Q: Account lost inventory, what do they do?
- A: Shrink or minimal inventory losses are a part of business. When the account is otherwise reconciled, please communicate this information to GrowerReporting@ForageGenetics.com.
- Lost units will be used to reconcile the account, but no program credits will be paid on them.
