Abstract: Abstract Clarkson Grain supplies grains and oilseeds selected to meet specific characteristics. Its clients make foods and/or feeds. It contracts with farmers before planting to raise the appropriate hybrids/varieties according to the parameters needed to meet buyers’ values. Crops include soybeans of various varieties and maize of various types including white, yellow, blue and waxy. Key distinctions include GM, non-GM and certified organic. Non-GM is generally defined as containing less than 0.9 % traits developed through genetic engineering.
