Snobelen Farms has been exporting soybeans for several years. We have markets for both Identy Preserved and Non-GMO soybeans. At our Lucknow branch we have the ability to clean soybeans to export specifications. After the soybeans are cleaned, they are shipped by container to the overseas destination.

In 1997 SFL promptly responded to European demand for Non-GMO soybeans. Our program has been growing ever since. SFL will pay a premium for soybeans that are grown from certified seed. Farmers must follow strict Identity Preserved programs to ensure the "purity" of the soybeans. Farmers who grow GMO soybeans are not eligible for the program.

A high percentage of our Non-GMO shipments are shipped by vessel from Goderich Elevators located in Goderich Ontario. We truck the soybeans to Goderich in advance so that we can have the proper Non-GMO testing done before the soybeans are loaded. We generally ship soybeans in the fall and in the spring. The Non-GMO business has been steadily increasing for the last five years. It is SFL's belief that the demand will continue to increase and that we will be able to offer farmers "premium" programs for many years to come!
