I think the point the person was making is that switching away from both the seed coating as well as switching to a Non GMO variety is a big shift – you are giving up a lot, typically: A) Herbicide resistance, so more weed issues, B) BT, so more insect issues, C) yield, and sometimes, other traits. Farmers may be reluctant to make such a big change.

Also, the Non GMO market is growing, but remains small, and the premium paid varies substantially.

What about NON GMO seed? More and more consumers are instisting on NON GMO.
