Asoyia® is launching a new, higher premium program for 2008
to increase the bottom line even more for Midwestern soybean
growers. The Non-GMO premiums will now start at $1.25 per bushel
with a potential to earn up to $0.40 more per bushel subject to
soybean market volatility. Pay no technology fees on any Non-GMO
seed.
Growers can compare and calculate the advantage of growing
Asoyia Non-GMO soybeans versus their current soybean brand and
type at asoyia.com. The online profit calculator contains drop
down boxes to select type of tillage practice(s), crop inputs,
chemical program, premiums and more.
“Our online calculator really allows growers to take a detailed
look at what they are spending and benefiting from growing
Asoyia soybeans,” states Brett Maxwell, Vice President of
Operations. “It gives them a picture of the profit center Asoyia
soybeans can provide.”
The increasing consumer need for more heart healthy foods is
driving the demand for Asoyia oil. Asoyia will offer 11 Non-GMO
varieties for improved seed emergence, disease resistance and
standability in a high yielding 1% Ultra Low Linolenic soybean.
“The oil market we are selling into is continually growing at a
rapid rate, in fact there are up to 18 different states
considering legislation to adopt a zero trans fat labeling law.
The trickle down effect is really driving what we see on the oil
side of our business thus the need for additional acres offers
great opportunities for Midwest growers. The added value our
program offers growers is tremendous to their bottom line,” adds
Maxwell.
Asoyia 1% Ultra Low Linolenic soybeans are marketed like
commodity soybeans with forward contracting available for any
month during the crop year. The producer can reserve bushels for
a delivery month without contracting, but must deliver beans
during that designated month. Several Cargill® marketing
alternatives are available.
“2007 harvest data from
independent University trials rank Asoyia brand soybeans among
top five high yielding varieties,” states Maxwell. Asoyia 1%
Ultra Low Linolenic soybeans have been genetically designed to
produce highly stable oil with zero trans fat.
Most recently Asoyia has expanded its distribution channels with
seed partner Merschman Seeds, Inc. and ag retail distribution
outlets Heartland Co-op, Big Country Seeds, CargillTM
AgHorizons, Big River Seed and Grain and many more.
Transportation allowances are provided where applicable and with
flexible delivery schedule to Cargill® facilities in
Bloomington, Illinois & Cedar Rapids, IA November 2008 through
September 2009. Limited harvest delivery is available with
flexible buyers call program within month of sale.
Asoyia is a farmer and employee-owned company that grows and
processes 1% Ultra Low Linolenic soybeans to produce highly
stable oil with zero trans fats. Headquarters in Iowa City, Iowa
serve the network of growers, food processors, brokers and seed
partners.
