2024 100% Stand Guarantee Policy
The 2024 RiceTec Stand Guarantee is designed to provide replant seed at no cost to RiceTec Loyalty seed customers in the event the customer does not get an adequate initial stand on his/her RiceTec rice acreage.

• Follows RiceTec recommendations to enhance seed germination and stand establishment opportunities
• Have a RiceTec representative view the field in question and confirm eligibility to replant that field
• Replant RiceTec fields without RiceTec advice will forfeit the opportunity to receive the replant seed
• When replant is determined to be necessary, only RiceTec seed may be used for the replant
• Replant seed will not be provided to customers with unpaid seed balances
Process to receive 100% replant:
• Customer will be invoiced the standard 50% list price replant at the time of the replant with a due date of August 10, 2024
• Customer must submit a 2023 FSA 578 form no later than August 1, 2024, to verify that 90% or more of their rice acres were planted with RiceTec seed
• Once verified as a RiceTec Loyalty seed customer, the 50% replant order will be canceled and entered at zero charge, and the customer will no longer be invoiced
Additional information:
• If, at the time of replant determination, it is determined to be a RiceTec seed quality issue, and it is unfeasible to replant rice in the field during 2024, RiceTec will provide deferred replant seed for the following season to plant 50% of the equivalent acres at our recommended seeding rate
• To qualify for deferred replant the current/remaining hybrid rice crop must be destroyed, and no rice can be planted in the field until next season
