ZFS Non-GMO Soybean Receiving Standards

Zeeland Farm Services, Inc. (ZFS) is a leader of non-GMO soybean production in the United States. We produce non-GMO soybean meal and soybean oil, and also offer extensive options of non-GMO soybean seed varieties. All non-GMO products undergo extensive third-party testing and a rigorous Identity Preservation (IP) process from start to finish to ensure products meet the end-users’ specific needs. Production facilities and processing procedures at ZFS are inspected annually and certified non-GMO by Cert ID LC d/b/a FoodChain ID .

ZFS is a member of the National Grain and Feed Association (“NGFA”) and fully supports NGFA’s position that the marketing and sales of varieties not fully approved for export to essential markets can cause commercial and fiscal damage to commodity handlers and, ultimately, grain producers.  Therefore, ZFS reserves the right to deny delivery of commodities containing transgenic genes and genetic traits not merchantable to U.S. export markets including, but not limited to, Canada, Japan, Mexico, the European Union and China.

ZFS “No Saved Seed” Policy

ZFS supports a No Saved Seed Policy. Significant investment is put into creating new varieties, and these research endeavors can only continue through the sales of existing varieties. Additionally, non-GMO seed may be patented, and such varieties can be used only for a single commercial crop. The benefits of new seed are numerous, including (1) access to the latest high yielding genetics and treatments available, (2) agronomic support and services (3) reliable quality. ZFS does not warrant seed carried over into the next planting season.
