Based on non-GMO premiums paid to the grower and the advent of glyphosate resistant weeds, recent years have seen a gradual shift to more non-GMO soybean acreage in Michigan. In fact, it is reported a higher percentage of non-GMO soybeans are planted in Michigan than in any other mid-western state. Weed control remains the primary challenge to non-GMO soybean production. With a known effective non-GMO weed control system, producers may decide on non-GMO production offering additional profit opportunities and reducing the likeliness of specific herbicide resistance weed species.
The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
