InterGrain has announced an exciting update for growers: all InterGrain Clearfield® wheat and barley varieties can now be legally traded between farmers. This follows a similar move earlier this year by AGT and comes after successful negotiations with BASF.
This change means growers now have greater flexibility when buying and selling Clearfield® seed. However, it’s important to ensure all seed exchanged through farmer-to-farmer trade is clean and maintains varietal purity. It is also a legal requirement for growers to register all farmer-to-farmer seed trades, which can be completed using a Seed Sale Declaration.
What Clearfield® Varieties are Eligible for Farmer-to-Farmer Trade?
Barley:
- Neo CL
- Granite CL
- Maximus CL
- Commodus CL
- Spartacus CL
- Zena CL
Wheat:
- Dozer CL Plus
- Valiant CL Plus
- Chief CL Plus
- Sheriff CL Plus
It’s important to note that this freedom to trade does not extend to imidazolinone-tolerant oats. Varieties such as Archer and Kingbale cannot be traded between farmers.
All farmer-to-farmer traded varieties remain subject to the terms and conditions of the Industry Standard Seed Licence and Royalty Agreement, ensuring legal compliance and protection for both buyers and sellers
