price.

IMPORTANT: These ARE NOT "Roundup
Ready" soybeans
Ravenwood Habitat Management Systems does not
support or encourage the use of genetically engineered seed, which is
what "Roundup Ready" soybeans are. We like our wildlife feed by natural
plant DNA, not designed by scientists in a lab for corporate profits. If you
agree, you have come to the right place.
