WESLACO – Rio Grande Valley corn producers could be eligible for payouts from a recent settlement.

Syngenta, a company based in Switzerland, was accused of selling genetically-modified seed for corn production.

As a result, the corn was rejected for import by China in 2013 and corn prices fell worldwide.

Local corn producers who have questions can call a claims administrator at 800-568-5330.
