Most corn, soybean acres biotech

Programs ICON

The vast majority of this year’s corn and soybean acreage is biotech. The numbers cover 87% of all soybean acres and 85% of corn acreage.

The USDA says a total of 92% of that corn total this year is either insect resistant, herbicide resistant, or a stacked gene type, and 94% of soybeans are herbicide resistant.

Those totals are unchanged from 2015.
