Stronger Basis. Premium Prices. Flexible Marketing.
In today’s challenging ag market, every bushel counts—and your Non-GMO soybeans could be the key to boosting returns. With premium pricing opportunities and a solid demand outlook, Farmers Coop Society is helping growers unlock more value through a specialized Non-GMO program.
Earn $2.50+ Per Bushel in Premiums
Growers participating in the Non-GMO bean program can earn $2.50 or more per bushel in premium pricing. And for those with higher volumes, the potential for increased premiums grows. In addition to premium pricing, these beans often command a stronger basis, typically beating local market averages.
Year-Round Demand
Non-GMO beans are in consistent demand—Cargill Cedar Rapids actively seeks deliveries throughout the year. That means more flexibility and fewer concerns about timing your marketing window.
Sell Like Any Other Bean
This program allows you to market your Non-GMO beans like conventional grain. Whether it’s a cash sale, basis contract, forward contract, or HTA, you have the flexibility to choose the strategy that best fits your operation.
Storage & Delivery Flexibility
The program works best with on-farm storage, but we’re open to ideas if you're using other facilities. Delivery to Cargill Cedar Rapids requires scheduling 1–2 weeks in advance. FCS will work with you to help arrange freight options as part of our commitment to excellent service.
Testing Required
To qualify for premiums, loads must pass Non-GMO testing standards. Our grain marketing team is available to walk you through those requirements and help you plan for a successful delivery.
