New non-GMO, high oleic soybean variety to be grown in Illinois
A new variety of high oleic soybeans, SOYLEIC, will soon be grown in Illinois. Developed in Missouri through research made possible by soybean farmers, SOYLEIC is the result of years of conventional soybean breeding, making it a non-GMO choice. From field to table, SOYLEIC is a functional, sustainable way to eliminate trans fats and provide healthier oil.
“SOYLEIC non-GMO high oleic soybeans are an exciting opportunity for Illinois soybean farmers,” said Linda Kull, director of Ag Innovations for the Illinois Soybean Association. “The new varieties could help farmers improve their bottom line through value-added markets while also meeting the food industry’s need for high performing soybean oil.”
