Speedy Harvest…Speedy Sales Year
Mitch Barlow (RSM, Region 5 – Iowa)
As I write this on October 10, harvest in Western Iowa is almost complete….WOW! Soybeans are done and corn is somewhere around 90% complete. Yields have been erratic; however, most growers have been pleasantly surprised with what their yield monitors have been telling them. Soybean whole field averages have been in the mid 50 bushel range and corn from 130 – 180 bushel whole field averages. Several growers have said they see their yield monitor jump well past 250 bushels in spots. Despite the lack of rainfall, 2012 has been a very good year.
With harvest nearing completion, growers are looking to lock down their inputs for 2013 planting. Most growers realize that seed companies are raising their seed in the same environments they were trying to produce in this year. Because of this, growers are wanting to order early to take full advantage of early order discounts and early pay discounts.
There are many Producers Hybrids products that have been doing very well in Western Iowa including 5898STXRIB, 6108STXRIB, 6624VT3PRIB, 7014VT3, 7224VTPRIB, and 7394VT3. Soybean varieties that are earning their way onto more acres are 2008NR2, 2101NR2, 2408R2, 2500NR2, and 2900NR2.
