Williams 82 is a very old bean. Wouldn't that be like comparing a modern hybrid like 6533 to a 40 year old hybrid? Here, the public beans have yields has high as any in the university plot. http://oardc.osu.edu/soy2013/soyperformance.asp?txtTableName=table9&txtFieldSort=3&txtDirection=ASC 4 bu at $10 is only $40 per acre but when you add in seed cost and chemical cost and long term considerations, I am not sure they are that much better? A non GMO premium can wipe out the $40 difference alone here and many places. Ed

Roundup ready beans are a bargain.
