Now is the time to return to work and to writing this column.
Some of you know that I was off for three months from my Penn State Extension employment and writing this column after experiencing a cardiac arrest in January.
I am grateful to the Lord for extending my days, and for the thoughts and prayers of many of the readers of this column.
I would like to thank my Penn State Extension colleague Jeff Graybill for taking care of this column in my absence.
Additionally I would like to thank the members of our Extension Field and Forage Crops team who assisted Jeff with article contributions during this time.
Now is the Time to Consider the Potential of Non-GMO Soybeans in Northern Pennsylvania.
Anna Busch, Union County agronomy educator, and Dave Hartman, Lycoming County livestock educator, are looking at the yield and potential market premium for non-GMO soybeans in north-central Pennsylvania.
In 2020 they grew and evaluated sulfonylurea-tolerant soybeans. STS is a non-GMO genetic trait. STS soybeans can be safely sprayed with higher rates of sulfonylurea herbicides such as Synchrony.
Soybean producers in northern Pennsylvania often struggle to find marketing opportunities because there arenât many local grain buyers. STS varieties allow producers to grow soybeans for a niche market and price premium while providing additional herbicide options for the control of difficult weeds, such as burcucumber.
