Farmer Testimonials

Harold Mehus

Grower, Glenville, MN

When we went to one of the meetings that they had, first there was the premium and the next thing was the Roundup Ready beans. That was very important. I probably wouldn't have raised them if they weren't Roundup Ready. And we know that we need good, healthy food, so we want to try something different. We figured that a lot of these fast food places would eventually go to this system. And since KFC has done it, and if the companies decide to do it, it's going to take a lot of acres of soybeans to be raised. My gosh, we have to look at every little thing we can to get rid of those trans fats and I think it's going to take over the whole, all the industry of fast food places. Eventually it's going to switch.

We were very happy with our results. They yielded just as well as all the rest of what we had--it said the same on the yield monitor as the rest of the beans. They looked good all summer long. We were kind of proud of them, the way they looked. I think if the demand's there, and the premium is there, I think all the farmers will raise them.
