Most top varieties have GMO factors of some type but still if you can gain 10 plus bushel per acre going with something that is only available as a plateless variety but being non-GMO versus settling for a plate type seed being non-GMO is 30 dollars per acre with corn at 3.00 per bushel on a conservative basis or 450 dollars for 15 acres. Yes, I know you get more for organic feed but the values vary based on the buyer. They could give you 4.50 per bushel or 6.00 per bushel if regular number 2 shelled corn is 3.00 per bushel based on the Chicago board. I understand the classic nature of a JD 494 or 494A or IH 56 but I would still look around for a White 5100 as they could be bought at auction for around the money you mentioned and have flexibility in seed selection. Your situation is one of the few times I would look at an IH 800 4 row plate planter if you are adamant about using plate-type seed as you get modern style depth control and closing mechanisms. You also need to consider how it will be harvested and the size of the equipment in terms of it being capable of wide rows or narrow rows. If it is to be a one row picker then it does not matter.
