An Indiana farmer says raising niche market corn and soybeans has kept his small farm profitable. Mike Koehne tells Brownfield they grow high oleic soybeans, and those are the first GMO soybeans they ever raised. “We started that three years ago,” he says. “They are Indiana-founded and checkoff-funded”
He also raises food-grade soybeans that are put in a container and shipped to Taiwan. Koehne says they raise non-GMO corn, too. Some of which is shipped down the Ohio River and then exported to Japan.
