The final numbers
Harvest of the FIRST test plots is complete, and Corn & Soybean
Digest magazine, with sponsorship from Bayer CropScience, is
bringing you the regional summaries of the final data from the field.
Summaries by region are listed below with the site yield averages for
that region. To view the full reports with the listing of each hybrid
visit www.firstseedtests.com. Oil and
protein data has recently been added to the individual soybean reports.
This week the silage and soybean regional performance summaries are
provided. In honor of Thanksgiving, we will take next week off. Then,
two final Harvest Reports will be sent via e-mail on Dec. 5 and 12 with
highlights of the regional corn performance summaries. New video clips
will also be added in early December, and we will let you know about
those. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
To find out more about how the harvest went, listen to the audio reports
posted on the Web site. Audio interviews with the FIRST farm managers
were updated weekly on the Web site during the last seven weeks of
harvest. Direct links are listed for the FIRST audio interviews, as well
as the FIRST videos, which explain more about the FIRST Seed Testing
program.

F.I.R.S.T. CORN PROGRESS REPORT
USDA reports corn harvest remains
behind schedule
While the FIRST corn test plots have been harvested, this week’s
USDA Crop Progress report shows the U.S. corn harvest is only 78%
complete, compared with 97% complete at the same time last year and a
five-year average of 94% complete for this week. States in the northern
Corn Belt region are furthest behind, with corn harvest 70% complete in
Iowa, 67% in Nebraska and 33% and 59% complete in North and South
Dakota, respectively. Soybean harvest, at 95% complete, is slightly
ahead of last year and on-par with the five-year average. For individual
corn yield reports with the listing of each hybrid visit www.firstseedtests.com.

 With the Weed Science Society of America now reporting
nine weeds confirmed resistant to glyphosate in the United States,
soybean growers cannot afford to continue down the same weed-control
path. In answer to this issue, Bayer CropScience has introduced new
LibertyLink® soybeans and Ignite®
herbicide, the only nonselective alternative to the Roundup
Ready® system.
The LibertyLink trait is available for 2009 in high-yielding soybean
varieties ranging in maturity from 0.5 to 4.9 from more than 80 seed
companies. Plus, the LibertyLink varieties have no yield drag or
lag.

be used, exported to, processed or sold in countries where appropriate
regulatory approvals have been granted.

 Soybean harvest is finishing up in southern Indiana, and
F.I.R.S.T. harvest reports are showing the top yielding
varieties.
With impressive yields, two varieties placed near the top with yields of
55.3 bu./acre and 54.7 bu./acre; these two varieties were protected from
the start with Trilex® and Allegiance®
seed-applied fungicides and Gaucho® seed-applied
insecticide from Bayer CropScience. These three products are part of the
most advanced seed-applied soybean treatment, the Trilex 6000 Soybean
System.
It pays to surround your seed with six layers of superior protection.
The Trilex 6000 Soybean System delivered an increase of up to 4 to 6
extra bushels per acre in field trials.
To find out more about starting off your soybean seed with one complete
