Schillinger Seed focused on non-GMO soybeans
July 1, 2009 by Ken Anderson, Brownfield Ag News
Schillinger Genetics, a specialty soybean seed company headquartered in West Des Moines, Iowa recently launched a new division focused exclusively on non-GMO soybean seed. It’s called eMerge Genetics and Schillinger’s Corey Nikkel says it fills a growing demand for food-grade, non-GMO soybeans from both overseas food companies that require non-GMO products and domestic food companies that are increasingly looking for healthier food ingredients.
Non-GMO Perspectives
I had a 120 acre field of Schillinger 388 beans that I was extremely pleased with. It was just a real tough spring for us with our soybean planting. Everything was late and fields were wet and I had weed control problems in some areas and had to do some late spraying in spots. Even in the areas where the beans were run over they were running 55 bushels on my monitor and in the clean area the monitor was hitting 75 bushels. Overall, they were the best yielding beans I had on my farm outyielding any RR beans I had this year. I will definitely plant most of my farm next year with Schillinger non-GMO and I am looking forward to the contract opportunities in my area for non-GMO.
