Seed suppliers offer growers a wide spectrum of new varieties

by DON STONEMAN

With March futures pushing past the $14.50 a bushel level, and an uncertain harvest in the Southern Hemisphere’s growing regions, soybeans are certain to occupy a share of the cropped land in Ontario fields from Essex to Earlton this summer.

Better Farming is again presenting Ontario’s crop-growing farmers with a list of new soybean varieties, available to them for the first time in 2011. The list will be published on the Better Farming website (www.betterfarming.com) and will be updated as more varieties receive approval.
