Default RR Soy works better in rRomania than in USA

In Romania Round Up Ready soybeans is proving much more valuable to farmers
than in the western world. With yield increases of 16 to 50%, cost
reductions averaging 28% and gross margin increases as much as 2 to 3 times
conventional methods of cultivation.

Romania has a very serious weed problem as a result of the lack of capital
and chaos following the Soviet break down. GM beans do a great deal better
in these weedy condition than beans raised using conventional herbicides.
