Public Profile

Formerly dba as Schillinger Seed Inc, and as Schillinger Genetics, eMerge Genetics is organized around in enabling farmers, feedstock and food companies, along with consumers to realize the benefits and value from the novel products the firm has been working on for several years. e Merge Genetics provides Non-GMO SoyBean Seeds both for the domestic and overseas markets. Withthe objective of developing seeds that best match the demand for higher protein and healthier oils, eMerge’s seeds produce some of the highest yielding soybean varieties in the field. The firm's effort has been to breed varieties with growth characteristics, disease resistance and other qualities that make them proven performers not just regionally, but all over the United States. In mid-March 2019, it was announced that eMerge Genetics had been acquired by Benson Hill Biosystems - itself an SBIR involved firm.
