Conventional Soybean Seed
|
| |
Conventional soybean varieties retain a percentage of the planted acre base due to their lower seeding cost and premiums paid for them. Our conventionals are of current breeding and perform as well if not better than the currently available glyposate tolerant soybeans. For the 2009 crop, the ADM elevator in Ottawa Lake is paying a $1.70 per bushel premium for these varieties at harvest through May '10 (recently increased from $1.50). Our WS and MCIA variety have been lab tested for freedom from GMO and to date all tests show them to be 100% non-GMO. If planting our varieties for the premium you can be certain they are clean and fully suitable.

A good mid group II variety that can also be followed with wheat. Moderate resistance to BSR and white mold. A medium height bush type plant, with phytopthora tolerance to all races. This was our highest yielding variety in '05, scaling 72.5 bu/acre, and our best in '07 at 67 bu. Normally a good standing plant, however some lodging did occur at this yield level. Excellent emeregence rating, tan pods at harvest. Seed size 3,401 per pound.

BIO GENE ROUNDUP READY SOYBEAN SEED
Bio Gene Roundup Ready varities are sold in pricing units of 140,000 seeds per unit. The seed is packaged in 50 lb bags and 2,000 lb bulk bags. Like seed corn at 80,000 per unit, your seeding cost per acre will remain the same whether the seed is 2,000 or 4,000 seeds per pound. For 30" row planting, one unit per acre is a good population goal. For drilling at 190,000 seeds per acre, 1.36 units per acre is required.
