Abstract: This invention relates to corn (Zea mays L.) seed and grain having a significantly higher oleic acid content than conventional corn by virtue of heritable genes for increased oil and oleic acid content and/or lowered levels of linoleic acid. The present invention also relates to the production of high oil, high oleic grain, its oil, its progeny and its uses.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for selecting farms to grow a crop of interest and/or for performing economic analysis relating to growing a crop of interest. One such disclosed apparatus includes a database and a farm identifier in communication with the database to develop a set of farms capable of growing the crop of interest. The apparatus also includes a competition analyzer cooperating with the farm identifier to estimate profits to be earned by farms in the set of farms for growing at least one crop which is different from the crop of interest. The apparatus is further provided with an offer developer cooperating with the competition analyzer to determine possible offers to be made to the farms in the set of farms based at least in part upon the estimated profits to be earned for growing the at least one crop which is different from the crop of interest.

Abstract: Grain, produced by a starch bearing plant, which is homozygous recessive for the waxy gene and heterozygous for the amylose extender gene and also one of the dull, sugary, or shrunken genes yields a starch with novel functional properties which can be utilized for foodstuffs and other applications without chemical modifications.
