What Helped Stabilize Yield?

• Corn Borer trait (Bt) introduction 1997 Southeast North Dakota

NK 3030 115 bushels / acreNK 3030BT 141 bushels / acre

• Roundup Ready technology in corn and soybeans has not stunted plant growth as with traditional chemicals

• Corn Rootworm Traits• Stacking of Traits

Supply Side Economics ??

90 bushels / acre – mid 1990’s

115 bushels / acre – 2012

25 extra bushels across 3.5 million acres

Or Bonanza??

87.5 million more bushels x $6.67 USDA
