eMerge Genetics®—It’s More Than Seed!
Agriculture is a common-sense business. It's an industry that doesn't live or die on quarterly reports or Wall Street analyst expectations.
Non-GMO Means Lower Input Costs
It's no surprise that technology licensing fees that are being charged by "big seed" are skyrocketing. You'd be naïve to believe that's going to change anytime soon. But more and more farmers are realizing that the additional cost doesn't always translate into higher yield … or more profit.
eMerge non-GMO seeds are proven to have traits and yield potential that you expect from the GMO seeds - without the additional tech fees. Pull out your calculator and see what impact $15 or even $30 per bag can have on your bottom line.
High Demand for Non-GMO Means Higher Premiums
Demand for non-GMO soybeans - especially soybeans with the healthy characteristics found in eMerge seeds - is growing both internationally and domestically. More and more food manufacturers are specifying non-GMO seeds with specific output traits - like low-lin oil and higher-protein levels. The good news? They're willing to pay a premium to growers who can supply them. That means you not only benefit from lower input costs … you'll also see higher prices. That's an even bigger boost to your bottom line.
Non-GMO Seed Means Better Soil Management
Your long-term success depends on the productivity of your soil. Year after year of applying glyphosphate - or any chemical - across your field can have a damaging effect on soil fertility. By varying your crop protection choices, you lessen the chance that your soil's will be affected by long-term use of the same product.
Non-GMO Seed Lessens the Affect of Weed Resistance
Research indicates that weed resistance to glyphosphate is becoming more common. As this resistance evolves, GMO traits will be less effective. eMerge soybeans are bred with excellent traits that make the seed a better alternative to GMO seed.

Non-GMO Perspectives
GET TO KNOW BILL RHODES, VP of Research - You will not find a harder working, more dedicated, more focused soybean breeder in the industry than Bill Rhodes. From his research station in Queenstown, MD, Bill has been turning out elite yielding, large acre varieties for 25 years. Using his unique environment on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, Bill's success has come from making varietal combinations in his crossing program that encompass wide ranges of maturity and adaptation. He then takes it the next step to evaluate the progeny in multiple environments to determine areas of adaptaion and observe for any detectable weaknesses before release. Bill's track record speaks for itself. When you choose an eMerge variety for your field, be assured that this great breeder has had his eyes and hands on it at some point to make sure that you are getting the most elite genetics possible from your bag of seed.
