We report some results in large pseudo rapidity pi^0-production in polarized proton collisions at 200 GeV center of mass energy. The single spin asymmetry for positive Feynman x (x_F) is consistent with zero up to ~0.35, then increases with increasing x_F. This behavior can be described by phenomenological models including the Sivers effect, Collins effect or twist-3 contributions in initial and final states. The asymmetry is found to be zero for negative x_F (-0.6pi^0+X cross sections at η=3.3, 3.8 and 4.0 are consistent with next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations.
