Cool thing about leading a national team is seeing results from all over! @pivotbio looking good in early growth, earlier tassel, better staygreen, and bigger ears!

He’s done it AGAIN! Congratulations to @AlexHarrell21 from GA for breaking his own world record with an astounding 218 bu/ac soybean yield. We’re proud that BRANDT’s innovative nutritional products were part of this achievement once again. #BRANDT #AlexHarrell #WorldRecord #WorldRecordSoybeanYield #Soybean #Soybeans #Farming #Agriculture

And to think 40 days ago we were concerned about terminating cover crops to preserve moisture?? Will count our blessing in the area I cover along Hwy 20.. to the north and south of us much wetter. Some areas wettest 35-40 days on record!

Folks wondering about "planting b 4 the rain" Going 2 b warm rain & stay warm. If long range forecast accurate, corn will b up b4 soil dries out to form crust. 10 day ECMWF & 16 Day GFS showing lot of H2O potentially coming. Keep planting if soil fit!

Planning on planting this weekend?? With upper 70's & low 80's w/humidity for Saturday/Sunday... cold seed will tend to have moisture condensation & flowability issues. Get seed into you shop & warm it up as much as possible to reduce issues. Be generous with talc!!!

Bean size difference from 2023 (left) & 2022 in NE IA.!! Same plot, same variety. 2022 yield was 83.6. Bean size is a large contributor to yield. Differences like this is why pod counting can be so inaccurate.
