I’ve been a DSM with Producers Hybrids since 1994 and in all that time I have never seen a year like 2012. This year we had no rain, Mother Nature has very much been in control and it’s been a blessing to have irrigation.
Harvest is in full swing in my area with the soybean stems green and beans at 8-9% moisture. We have seen some very good irrigated yields in the 70-80 bushels per acre so far. Likewise, irrigated corn yields have been very good if you had enough irrigation water. I harvested a NET 7 plot that had a plot adjusted average of 271.4 bushels per acre and the check average (7394VT3Pro) was 270.8 bushels per acre.

I hope you are keeping notes on how our products are doing in your fields and are working on a plan with your DSM or Dealer so we can best serve your seed needs for 2013. PLEASE HAVE A SAFE HARVEST!
