Whole-farm 2022 soybean yield average in our operation by trait:

Enlist 76.6
XtendFlex 71
Non-GM 66.8

This is just sharing of raw data, not for any other purpose. Our seed business sells all 3 traits and there are places on farms for each product and #agtwitter

Beautiful morning for cover crop seeding on research farm. This will be year number 3 in these quadrants. Really need this forecasted rain though. #InsidethePlant @United_Prairie

Plot day!!!! Oh the stories @HolmesTal Maxwell coffee can could tell!!!! That man has somewhere between 25 and 50 years in the business we are told!!! @mitch_holmes_ @United_Prairie @Cannonball85

[Kyle Meece @MeeceUPAgronomy]

Another day of spray trials in the books!!! The ole girl has been great this season and after a few adjustments and boom raise we coasted right over this @WyffelsHybrids 7878 tasseled corn and some @StineSeed 36EB32 soybeans. @United_Prairie @mitch_holmes_

[Brady Black @TheBlackPearlSS]

This is going to be an awesome plot and we will get a lot of great data from this trial! Thank you @luketurner81 and @MeeceUPAgronomy for getting it in!

[Kyle Meece @MeeceUPAgronomy]

It was a very frustrating day trying to get beans in at the Innovation Farm with minor issues but have about 85% of the trials done. Will finish up with @mitch_holmes_ in the AM and then down to get a trial done with @TheBlackPearlSS at Cowden. @United_Prairie

[Kyle Meece @MeeceUPAgronomy]

New to us plot planter is dialed in and ready for some drier weather. Can’t thank @HettingerPlants for all the work on getting this rig set up and dialed in with what we were needing for 2022. Been a dream in the making for a number of years now. @mitch_holmes_ @United_Prairie

[Kyle Meece @MeeceUPAgronomy]

Picked up over treated box of Wyffels 7876 with the new Pivot Bio ProveN40 seed treatment on it this morning and got the box rebagged for some on farm grower trials this season. Will be sure to share findings in 2022 Trial results book. @United_Prairie @pivotbio @WyffelsHybrids

[Kyle Meece @MeeceUPAgronomy]

Nice Sunday morning to get some residue digester trials applied with @mitch_holmes_ Took longer than expected per usual but looking forward to experimenting with these types of products this season!! @SoilBiotics @verdesian @QLFNutrition @OROAGRI @United_Prairie

@MeeceUPAgronomy @curtmillerUP If I were you I would take the Liberty to Enlist some dogs to Roundup those waterfowl allowing you to Extend your hunting trip. #killthewaterhemp

[Kyle Meece @MeeceUPAgronomy]

Late night number 2 but just finished up the research farm!!! Couldn’t of done it without @HolmesTal and @mitch_holmes_ help!!! Looking forward to compiling this information and starting the results book….but first more plot harvest on the agenda for tomorrow. @United_Prairie

If you're angry about fertilizer prices, start with your local @nutrianag location. Their parent company, @agriuminc, is one of the owners of Canpotex, a cartel that controls most of the world's potash. Nutrian is screwing you at every turn.

[Stu Ellis @FarmGateMedia]

Its hard to travel more than a mile or two down a rural road and not encounter some corn or soybean test plots. But its difficult to know just what is being tested. @WCIA3 viewers got one interesting answer from @United_Prairie agronomist Kyle Meece.

[Curt Miller @curtmillerUP]

Hoopston crew is hooked up and ready to roll when season starts. Flying old glory for the Holliday weekend. Happy Labor Day everyone!!

#scouting new hybrids for the 2022 growing season, we didn’t get much of this out in plots this year from shorter supply but I am blown away with what i’ve seen from it! Wyffels 7208 Stax

[Kaitlin Tharp @KMMagsamen]

This year’s interns killed it!! Their presentation about the high yield trials they worked on this season has been top notch. #futureofag #agindustry

[Kyle Meece @MeeceUPAgronomy]

Trial today turned out great!!! Can’t wait to process the data. Had to get the smoker rolling for part of the study. Appreciate Adam’s Aerial Solutions for always being willing to help me with these studies the past number of years! @United_Prairie

[Kyle Meece @MeeceUPAgronomy]

It was a long day of being in the heat but was able to get all the post foliar apps on the Innovation Farm, and grab some tissue samples on everything before apps, will follow up with more tissue samples next week. We have a great group of interns this season!!!! #InsidethePlant
