2010 Viking Soybean Trials
Discount SchedulesConventional Soybeans
Most farmers are growing conventional soybeans as a way to make more money per acre by getting a premium (see the button at the left for a list of potential buyers). Some farmers are growing conventional soybeans as a way to keep costs down and manage weed resistance.
Our Viking Conventional Soybeans are soybeans with maximum yield potential for their maturity. In our own replicated, multi-site testing program these varieties are showing equivalent yield to the best available Roundup Ready soybean varieties. Plant them with confidence.
Most of the Specialty Non-GMO varieties bring significant premiums to the grower but often do not yield as well as the best available varieties. We encourage you to pencil out the probable return per acre before contracting to grow these varieties.
A word on the Non-GMO status of our conventional soybeans: Although we take great care to clean all of our soybean seed to the highest standards, we will not guarantee any of our soybean seed to be 100% free of GMOs. All of the varieties we sell as organic or specialty Non-GMO varieties are tested for the presence of GMOs. These tests are available on request.
