eMerge Genetics - Non GMO SoyBean Seeds

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.

eMerge Non-GMO Seed Yield Results
High yielding soybeans come from superior varieties. You can have all the stacked GMO traits in the world, but they won't improve yield more than having the right research and breeding programs. Compare eMerge soybean seed against any other varieties in the field - non GMO or GMO. You'll find that eMerge seed stacks up to any of the rest in the field for yield and traits.

Non-GMO Perspectives

Let me introduce you to eMerge Genetics™. eMerge Genetics™ is the new brand name of Schillinger non-GMO Seed Genetics, a name that’s creating new opportunities for growers and end users to work directly with one another. The end users are savvy international and domestic buyers who know the genetics they want. They are looking for farmers to grow non-GMO soybean varieties that fit their customers. The timing is perfect. With most soybean brands, the only thing seed companies today have to offer growers is last year’s yield results and this year’s prices. For too long - soybeans, from the seed in the field to the grain delivered to the elevator, have been treated like a commodity. In a commodity market, the only people who win are the low-cost producers. eMerge Genetics™ is changing that. From our lineup of 100% non-GMO soybean varieties to our research focus on high-demand “output” traits like high-protein, healthier oils and better taste to our commitment to helping growers and end users connect with each other through our eMerge™ Marketplace, eMerge Genetics™ is creating new opportunities for growers, end users and everyone in between. Take a close look at eMerge™. We think you will find that our varieties will stack up favorably against any others in the field – both GMO and non-GMO. And, when you get to the bottom line, that’s where you will see the biggest benefit. In the 2003 Schillinger Seed Guide, I wrote: “Schillinger Seed is dedicated to helping the best farmers in the world reap better profits for their efforts…We are the alternative company.” We still are. And, I think you will like having an alternative.
