As we have done all summer during our Tuesday morning tours, below is what we have for the corn and soybean plot makeup this season. There are 8 for corn and 8 locations for soybeans across our trade area. We will follow these plots through harvest to validate performance. You can view the products yourself at our plot West of Mynard, located a half mile west of Hwy 75 on Mynard Rd, south side. Feel free to visit it at your convenience to review current development and performance data.
