Reports From The Field: Fall 2023

October 30, 2023

Indiana

“Most of my customers started with beans this year and never stopped until the rain came. I’ve been flabbergasted by the yields for both corn and soybeans from our test plots and from customer fields. We’ve never seen fields yield this much! 2023 will be a record setting crop and it all comes down to this weather.” – Mark Borden, Seed Specialist

Kentucky

“Harvest is going well. A wet spell is slowing things down for a bit now, but we’re having a good soybean crop. The beans are really dry. We’re seeing really big corn yields across my district, with FC 8437 being the winner in the corn test plot.” – Joey Benningfield, Seed Specialist

Tennessee

“The whole state of Tennessee is on the drought monitor, it’s really dry. We’ve had very little rain over the last two months. Harvest is wide open for both corn and soybeans. This year we’ve had some of the best yields in history… 80 bushels or better on soybeans and 250 bushels or better per acre on our corn yield!” – Steve Miller, Seed Specialist
