Our own Jerry Weigel, manager of nutrition and technical service, was recently interviewed by Feed Management. In the article, Jerry talks about the future of GMOs and ethanol. To read the full article, turn to pages 12 and 13 in the magazine’s July/August issue, which you can view online on the Feed Management website.
Note – In the article’s third question about specialized strains, the correct version of Jerry’s answer should be: It takes approximately 15 years from obtaining germplasm to commercialization. It is also estimated that it costs over $20 million for the development of a genetically modified strain, again from gene discovery to marketing.
