Farmer Testimonials

Jon Thompson

Grower, Brookston, IN

Well, we farm 3,600 acres and about 1,200 of it are soybeans. From everything we've seen with the Vistive soybeans, the yield is right there, possibly even a bushel or two better than what we had been growing in the past. With the Roundup Ready we don't have to worry about weed control issues. It's an excellent opportunity to pick up a premium and still use the Roundup Ready technology on our soybeans. Well, I think as a producer we need to take every chance for that opportunity and make it happen so we can keep these products in the U.S., help the American farmer continue to grow and not allow these to go to outside markets. We need to produce as many of these beans as we can to help satisfy the market, and the demand of the consumer.
