Clearfield Sunflowers:
2010 Commitment

By signing the annual Clearfield® Commitment, your grower gains access to valuable Clearfield technology, but you qualify for GrowForward™ Rewards savings and Clearfield Advantage™ benefits.

The Clearfield Commitment is our dedication to sound stewardship. It’s an agreement between BASF and the grower, outlining each party’s responsibilities associated with the use of Clearfield technology. It also serves as an annual license to access the technology and helps BASF protect the integrity of the Clearfield Production System so that it will be available for growers well into the future.

For Clearfield sunflowers, a Clearfield Commitment Fee equal to $3/acre will be collected at the time of seed purchase. This fee supports continued investment, development and acceleration of BASF trait-based innovations, which will ultimately deliver more products and profit opportunities for growers.

By signing the Clearfield Commitment a grower agrees to:
  • Use certified Clearfield sunflower seed each year to plant a single commercial crop
  • Pay the $3/acre Clearfield Commitment Fee
  • Not supply Clearfield sunflower seed to other growers or users for production in future years
Dispose of, as commercial seed, any seed covered under the agreement and not use it for planting a subsequent crop
