Over the past eleven seasons, with the exception of this last summer due to COVID restrictions, we have been able to highlight our non-GMO weed control programs as a part of the annual MSU Weed Control Tour held in June at the MSU Agronomy farm. In 2019, over 200 growers, agronomists, sales representatives, and extension educators attended this field tour. Additionally, specific non-GMO soybean tours have been held that afternoon with over 20 growers and weed control advisors of non-GMO soybean in attendance for more in-depth discussion of the non-GMO research plots. Since we were not able to hold in person meetings this year, we have video and pictures that we will be putting together for non-GMO grower meetings of this year’s plots.

• Information generated from this research has also been put into usable fact sheets accessible by the web (http://www.msuweeds.com). These fact sheets have also been available to growers who have attended non-GMO soybean meetings in the winter months. In the past, we have spoken to over 100 farmers who have been or are interested in growing non-GMO soybean at non-GMO specific meetings. In 2020 we spoke to farmers at two meetings one in Zeeland and one in Frankenmuth. Unfortunately, this year we won’t be able to hold in-person meetings, but we are looking forward to holding some virtual discussions with non-GMO soybean farmers that will highlight results from these trials.
