      abstract = {Advances in the genetic modification of agricultural seeds  have allowed a range of new
opportunities for manipulating  seed traits according to production, market and  environmental
concerns. As seed varieties continue to  become increasingly differentiated, preferences  for
specific seed traits may be expected to impart  significant effects on farmer demand for new
seeds. This  paper proposes a model of technology adoption that  integrates demand for traits of
new technologies with the  potential for heterogeneity based on farm and farmer  characteristics.
The model is applied to recent GM corn  adoption data from Minnesota and Wisconsin farmers,
and  uses conditional logit and mixed multinomial logit  econometric models to estimate the
effects of traits and  farm and farmer characteristics on adoption outcomes.},
