Soybean Research

A TRADITION OF DELIVERING MAXIMUM VALUE

High Grower Satisfaction

Prairie Brand Soybeans have a rich history of providing outstanding performance and high grower satisfaction. As we look to build on that history, Prairie Brand Seed is raising the performance bar with several new products for 2008. Within this new group are key products that are built for tremendous yield potential across a wide range of growing conditions. The yield barrier on soybeans with SCN resistance has been shattered, and some of the highest yielding lines in the industry carry SCN resistance and can be found in the Prairie Brand soybean line-up. We are excited to bring you the most advanced genetics in the industry, and are certain you will be pleased with the performance of Prairie Brand Soybeans on your farm.

Along with our new 2008 releases, Prairie Brand Seed is introducing a new generation of Vistive™ soybeans. Our well-rounded line-up of Vistive™ soybeans offers products with the agronomics and yield to help growers maximize the market demand premiums offered by raising Vistive™.

Expanded Research Effort

In an effort to give our customers the best information on the performance of our products, we enter our soybeans in various state yield trials and F.I.R.S.T. trials. In addition, a large investment was put into hundreds of dealer and grower plots throughout our marketing area. To expand our product research effort, replicated trials have been strategically placed. These replicated trials are referred to as P.E.T. (Prairie Elite Testing). P.E.T. trials are conducted with the support of an independent testing consultant with years of experience providing reliable test data. This expanded research effort enhances our ability to make the best product recommendations for your individual farms.

We want to know how Prairie Brand products perform for you. Send your questions or
