DuPont provides ethanol yield technology to FOSS in 2007
What happened
On June 27, 2007, DuPont and FOSS North America announced an agreement. DuPont's Pioneer Hi-Bred provided FOSS with proprietary Ethanol Yield Potential calibration technology. This technology allows FOSS grain analyzers to estimate ethanol yield in gallons per bushel. The agreement aims to help farmers and ethanol producers better understand the yield potential of grain corn.

Why it matters
The agreement grants FOSS rights to the technology developed by DuPont. This allows ethanol producers to use real-time data to manage the grain fed into their production process. The technology is intended to help increase ethanol output per acre.
