Golden Harvest officials says their corn and soybean products outperformed competitors in many Midwestern fields in 2021.
The 2021 growing season brought extreme weather challenges for many across the Corn Belt. There was severe drought in the West and heavy rains in the East. Dave Young, Golden Harvest head of marketing, explains the results from the 2021 corn harvest.
?Golden Harvest had a fantastic year during the harvest to 2021. Really proud of a number of our hybrids, a couple 110 days, 10D21, 10L16, followed by 12S75 was fantastic, and had some really great late-season performance from A15J91. I really feel that our corn performance is due to a lot of things. One is the ability of our seed advisors to really place those hybrids, know those hybrids, and how to get them placed on your farm. When you combine that with agriculture traits and the base genetics from what we can bring it through Syngenta Golden Harvest, it?s a winning performance combination.?
Switching over to soybeans, Young says it was a good year as well.
?Soybeans had a fantastic year. Obviously, it depends on exactly where you were at, but we were really pleased, saw a number of soybean plots from around the country coming in this year that were 100-plus bushel. And I’ve been doing this for 25 years and I’ve never seen that to this level. When you see varieties performing at that level, what that means to me is they’re going to perform across the yield environments. So, while not everybody is able to extract that maximum yield necessarily, if you’ve got to bean, a 2292 for example, that just has been really outstanding for us. What you’ll see is that bean is going to perform across. So, if the maximum in that field is 55 to a 65 bushel, you stick with good solid genetics and you use a trait package that suits your farming operation, you’re not going to go wrong. And with what Golden Harvest is bringing you, particularly with our Gold Series beans, you’re absolutely not going to go wrong.?
As farmers begin making seed decisions for next year, Young says the 2022 Golden Harvest corn and soybean portfolio expands to offer more options for farmers. Learn more by visiting goldenharvestseeds.com.
