All the high lysine corn is grown on Rosehill Farms acreage. The corn is stored on the farm and the farm corporation is reimbursed as each shipment is made. The money for the reimbursement is made available through donations of individuals, families and churches. The labor needed for bagging, loading and administration is 100% volunteer help. 

The bagging of the corn can sometimes be scheduled ahead if shipping dates are imminent. Corn is not bagged far ahead of the shipping, preferably less than two weeks. Four to six people are needed for the bagging, but larger groups can work on rotation so each person gets an opportunity to help. The loading of the corn is a different situation. Trucking schedules are often at the mercy of driving conditions and dispatching of previous loads of freight. This means calling a crew (12 minimum) at a few hours notice to do this heavy work. Fortunately, we have many standby 'minutemen' who will 'drop everything' and form a team for loading the corn.
   

The routing and shipping of the corn is left entirely to the agency that is receiving the shipment. Some corn routed for Central America is shipped in banana containers; some agencies, such as Feed the Children, have their own fleet of trucks; other agencies may have to shop for the best price, or possibly can find a generous hauler who contributes his equipment and time. Sometimes, during an extreme emergency, U.S. Air Force planes are used as per the "Denton Project." In such cases the sending agency trucks the corn to the nearest AFB. 

Various benevolent agencies provide the shipping and distribution to areas of need. In the past, those areas have included Mexico, Ukraine, North Korea, Nicaragua, Honduras, United States, Haiti, Guatemala, Russia, and will vary from year to year depending upon disaster relief.

It is difficult for many of us to imagine the plight of families in Third-world countries where corn is a staple food, and cannot be obtained there. Be assured that the shipments of high lysine corn are in the hands of capable Christians who get the food to where the need is greatest.
