How it Works: Soybeans and Corn PLANT Genuity® Roundup Ready 2 Yield® Soybeans, Roundup Ready® Soybeans, Roundup Ready® Corn 2 or corn with Roundup Ready® 2 Technology to qualify for incentives. LibertyLink® soybeans do not qualify. PURCHASE qualifying herbicides from a participating Monsanto retailer between August 1, 2015, and July 31, 2016, and apply at the labeled rates. INCENTIVES will be mailed in check form to the retailer selling Roundup® agricultural herbicides. The incentive check will be made out to both the retailer and the grower. Incentive payments for qualifying herbicides will be matched to corresponding Roundup agricultural herbicides. The deadline to submit for the 2016 Roundup Ready PLUS® Incentive is August 31, 2016.

How it Works: Cotton PLANT cotton varieties containing Roundup Ready® Flex or XtendFlex® technologies in a qualifying state. PURCHASE qualifying herbicides from a participating Monsanto retailer between August 1, 2015, and July 31, 2016, and apply at the labeled rates. INCENTIVES will be mailed in check form to the retailer selling the cotton technology. The incentive check will be made out to both the retailer and the grower. The deadline to submit for the 2016 Roundup Ready PLUS Incentive is August 31, 2016.
