Question 1

What about pesticides? What pesticides are used on these? Do you grow or sell an organic version of this variety of soybean?

Accepted Answer

Below is the answer to your question directly by the farmer:We are not certified or stamped organic, we are non-gmo.My understanding is that the biggest difference between our soybeans and certified organic is that we have a two year crop rotation with corn whereas to be certified organic you must have a 4 year crop rotation where you would only have a soybean crop once every 4 years.  We do not use any commercial fertilizers on our soybean crop.  We do use limited weed control before and then mechanical tillage, later in the season we will walk the field with garden hoes to take out any large weeds that may make harvest difficult.   The freeze kills the weeds that remain in the field and then they are not a problem at harvest.  We do not use any insecticides on the Laura® Soybeans.   With our current production program, my father and I have been growing non-gmo soybeans for family tofu shops in Japan since 1987.  We have been testing the beans at independent labs since 1987 and have never found any residues.  We are very confident in the safety and quality of our Laura® soybeans.  We produce our own seed every year and only produce non genetically modified soybeans, so our equipment has never seen GMO soybean seeds.  Thanks for your question.

Question 2

How close are the fields for this type of soybeans to GMO soybean fields?

Accepted Answer

The Laura® Soybeans that we grow are separated by at least a roadway width.  The Laura® soybean seed that we grow for the following year's crop is in the middle of our other non-gmo soybeans to provide for great distance from  other farmers fields.  We only grow non-gmo corn and soybeans on our farm.

Question 3

Wher is prodution.

Accepted Answer

Laura Beans are produced on Fairview Farms in Iowa, the  Chambers family farm for five generations. The cambers family own the land, plant and harvesting the soybeans, and even packaged and ship them. This Laura beans are the only soybeans online that you know exactly which farm they were grown on and shipped  from. All the questions for the soybeans are answered directly by the owners of the farm. When there are middle men in between you will never know for sure because there is nothing written on the soybeans.

Question 4

are these shipped directly from the Iowa farm?

Accepted Answer

You can order directly from the farm's website if being shipped directly from the farm is important to you. I believe that 10 lbs is the smallest order you can place. I prefer the 5 lbs; 10 lbs is just too much for me.
