MARCH 8, 2001 The US Department of Agriculture on Wednesday said it will pay up to $20 million to farmers whose crops have been tainted by a corn product not meant for human consumption. The government will pay $35 to $50 per bag of contaminated seed. It estimates that as many as 400,000 bags, or about 1 percent of the country's total supply, are contaminated with StarLink.
