Grower, New Richland, MN

I'm very happy with the results of my Vistive soybeans this year. They yielded very comparably. The processor was very energetic and wanting to receive the soybeans in a timely fashion—they even offered to help come get them. They offered many opportunities to deliver them. They worked really well, and wanted this to be an easy process for the grower this year. Food companies out there are already making a switch making national statement that we don't want hydrogenated oil. We want something that doesn't have trans-fatty acids in it. It's for a healthier you, and I think as an industry, we have to look at this avenue because it's going to be a huge marketplace. New York City just got national attention. They were wanting to place a ban on trans-fatty acids. You're talking a huge market that we have to accommodate. I think you get your foot in the door and produce a superior product, and something that's low in trans-fatty acids and something the processor wants to deal with.
