SOYLEIC^® partners with Byron Seeds to expand access to high-oleic soybean genetics

SOYLEIC, a leader in high-oleic, non-GMO soybean technology, announces a new partnership with Byron Seeds, a Midwestern-based, family-owned company committed to providing high-quality seed solutions to farmers. This collaboration will expand access to SOYLEIC’s high-performing soybean genetics, offering farmers more opportunities to grow premium, value-added soybeans that align with evolving market demands for high-oleic oil and enhanced feed options.

SOYLEIC’s patented, non-GMO high-oleic trait delivers enhanced oil stability, longer shelf life, and superior nutritional benefits for food and livestock applications. By partnering with Byron Seeds, a company that strives to develop relationships that make a positive difference in farmers’ lives through service and education, SOYLEIC is furthering its mission to provide innovative, high-quality seed choices for sustainable and profitable agriculture.

″This partnership with Byron Seeds is a strategic step forward in expanding access to SOYLEIC soybeans,″ said Bryan Stobaugh, Director of Commercialization and Licensing for Missouri Soybeans. ″Byron Seeds has built a strong reputation for delivering premium seed solutions and working closely with farmers to improve profitability. Their commitment to service and education makes them an ideal partner to bring SOYLEIC high-oleic soybeans to more growers across the Midwest.″

One of the most significant benefits of SOYLEIC soybeans is their impact on livestock feed, particularly in dairy nutrition. The high-oleic trait is a game changer when it comes to feeding roasted soybeans to dairy cows, providing a premium protein source along with the added energy of whole-fat soybeans.

″Feeding SOYLEIC soybeans allows farmers to grow their own protein while avoiding the negative effects associated with feeding regular soybeans,″ said Jim Paulson, Special Projects Manager with Byron Seed. ″This is a huge advantage for dairy producers looking to improve herd health and milk production efficiency. With SOYLEIC soybeans, farmers have a homegrown, high-energy protein option that supports better nutrition and performance.″

Byron Seeds is dedicated to helping farmers be more profitable by growing more digestible forages and grain, making SOYLEIC’s high-oleic soybeans a natural fit for their product lineup. With a strong focus on service, education, and relationship-building, Byron Seeds ensures that farmers receive not only superior seed but also the support and expertise needed to maximize their yields, soil health, and long-term success.

″At Byron Seeds, we work together to meet the needs of our customers, always striving to serve with integrity,″ said Paulson. ″We are thrilled to partner with SOYLEIC, bringing our farmers a premium soybean option that enhances both profitability and sustainability. Our shared values of innovation, stewardship, and farmer success make this partnership a win for everyone.″

With rising consumer demand for heart-healthy high-oleic soybean oil and non-GMO feed alternatives, this partnership offers soybean growers a competitive edge in today’s evolving marketplace.
