Monsanto is working with the U.S. farm sector to keep Xtend soybeans separate from varieties approved in all major export markets, according to Jim Sutter, CEO of the U.S. Soybean Export Council. Xtend soybean seeds have been engineered to resist the herbicides glyphosate and dicamba. The variety was launched before garnering approval of shipments from Europe, something that has yet to come. As a result, Pro Farmer’s First Thing Today reports some of the world’s top grain handlers have said they will reject deliveries of such soybeans engineered to resist the herbicides glyphosate and dicamba. Richard Wilkins, president of the American Soybean Association, also said the company is working on a plan for Xtend soybeans in case approval from Europe does not come over the summer as expected.
