Farmer interest in non-GMO beans, corn grows
edited

Wayne Hoener, vice president of sales for eMerge, a Des Moines-basedseed company that sells non-GMO corn and soybean seed to farmers, saysthere has been strong interest from farmers for non-GMO seed for nextspring.

There are several reasons for that interest, he says.

One of the reasons is - there havelong been concerns about the potential for weed resistance toglyphosate.


Interest in non-GMO crops has beenincreasing in recent years, Hoener says. One reason for that iscompanies producing non-GMO seed have done a better job of producingvarieties that yield as well as the GMO varieties.
