Processor Preferred^®

What is Processor Preferred^®?
Processor Preferred is a brand established to deliver grain compositional value to processors and to unlock value for growers in new markets.

What is different about Processor Preferred^®?

• In the past, seed companies didn't select and breed for compositional improvements­only yield and agronomics
• Today, Processor Preferred hybrids and varieties are being characterized and selected to meet both grower and processor needs.
• Monsanto Crop Analytics laboratories, with ISO 17025 Accreditation, are providing the compositional analysis that allows Processor Preferred products to come to market.
• Two of the first labs in the world with ISO 17025 Accreditation for grain analysis, Crop Analytics labs provide data which is repeatable, reliable and consistent.
• Processor Preferred is a brand that promotes trust of processors, end users and growers who know that when they use a product labeled Processor Preferred they are getting what they expect.

  Processor Preferred hybrids are selected to deliver grain compositional benefits to processors and unlock opportunities for growers.

  • Processor Preferred High Fermentable Corn (HFC)—
    Hybrids that can deliver higher levels of fermentable starch to dry mill ethanol plants, producing higher ethanol yields for greater profit potential.
  • Processor Preferred High Extractable Starch (HES)—
    Hybrids that can deliver higher levels of extractable starch to corn wet millers, producing higher pure starch yields that are turned into high fructose corn syrup, specialty and commodity starch products and ethanol.
  • Through research, crop analytics and breeding, we continue to work to improve grain composition and profit opportunities.
