Find a Healthier Profit per Acre with Spectrum

At Spectrum Non-GMO, we believe traits and Non-GMO stratigies both deliver ctirical value to agriculture. With that said, we also fully believe that not every acre needs traits. We’ve seen it first hand on our own farms. Acres once planted to traits are now delivering a higher ROI thanks to Spectrum Non-GMO.

Food Grade Markets Add Additional Revenue

Spectrum Non-GMO offers  premium genetics not to be confused with grain premiums. Our genetics yield because of the care we place in breeding and product selection for your environment. But, when it comes to selling Non-GMO or selling food-grade grain, we have paid extra special attention, because we know these qualities can drive top line revenue for you (in select market areas.)

The Math

When buyers begin offering 50 cents or more per bushel your ears should perk up. Across 230 bushel per acre that alone drives $115 per acre of value. Considering most of our customers actually enjoy reduced input costs by using other pest control methods a $150+ /acre swing in profit on 2,000 acres of corn is $300,000. That’s the kind of money that buys farms and sends kids to college. If you have a market that we are not yet an approved genetic supplier, please contact us as we are eagerly sending test grain to these buyers to assure we can support you.

Non-GMO Farming Solutions

Weed Control

Weed control without glyphosate is something many farmers are closer to these days than they realize. Most do burn down or pre-emerge programs that include residual herbicides and spend nearly as much on these herbicides that are doing the heavy lifting year in and year out. Backing off the glyphosate trait is a hurdle that some make, and when they do, it frees up a budget line item to pay for tools you get to keep.

Insect Control

With inconsistent insect pressure in mind, Spectrum has taken the stance that the ideal scenario does not involve using traits if we don’t know when/where we are going to need them, just as we shouldn’t be applying insecticides when the pressure isn’t there. Consult with your Spectrum Profit Navigator to determine your level of risk and identify ways to improve scouting.

All Spectrum Preium Non-GMO Seed Corn hybrids are treated with a unique combination of protection combining 250-level insecticide, fungicide, micronutrients, and growth promoters. To learn more, speak to your Spectrum Profit Navigator.
