The Missouri Soybean Merchandising Council (MSMC) signed an agreement Wednesday bringing non-GMO high oleic soybean technology to growers.
The agreement grants Des Moines based Schillinger Genetics a license to commercialize soybeans with high oleic and low linolenic traits that yield oil with a longer shelf life and without trans fats. Company president John Schillinger tells Brownfield the traits are bred conventionally.
“The organic segment is growing,” Schillinger told Brownfield Ag News Wednesday at the Missouri Soybean Association’s Bay Farm research facility near Columbia, Missouri.
