Receiving seed from Puerto Vallarta, Shipping Next Fall

Hello My Mexico Maize Colleagues,
Next Step is we will need to send a scanned pdfs to Jan with PV Winter Services as a group.

For this one first year, I would like to have my secretary Angela Dillworth at adillwor@purdue.edu help coordinate this, so please send your scanned import permit to her now, or when you get it, and then she can send them all down at once.

Also, send Angela your formal shipping address for the seed to be sent. I will have Jerry Chandler work with Angela to give her the row assignments that go to each location. In this way Jan will get one major memo with rows, import permits, shipping instructions from all of us at once.

For next year, in order for each of to be able to have the flexibility to ship your own corn, in the same way I did the last two years, in the cargo section of a Continental Airlines commercial jet, we will need to send your shipping address to ProAgLogistics, and then they will file it with th KSMS database of the Transportation Security Administration and either you are okayed if your building or institution is a"known shipper" or if not then they will file some forms for you. Angela will compile and send them.

In order to ship to Puerto Vallarta next fall yourself, you will need to have your field inspected in late July or early to mid August by APHIS so that you can ship seed to Mexico. This is important.
