OH - All-Season Test
Dry weather after planting delayed germination and emergence of some
hybrids by three weeks at Marion, IN. At harvest, stalk quality was poor
due to stalk rot. Average yields were 172.3 bu./acre on the early season
test and 182.1 bu./acre on the full-season test.

 Despite dry conditions at planting on May 1, the Floyd, IA,
field grew well most of the growing season. The location experienced
some heat stress before and during pollination, but the crop wasn't
affected. The average yields were 172.6 bu./acre and 180.9 bu./acre for
the early and full-season tests, respectively. This location also had an
ultra-early test which had an average yield of 176.3 bu./acre.

Regular rainfall helped produce very good yields at the Greene, IA,
plot. A wind storm after pollination caused some root lodging, but
yields were still very good. The early season test averaged 175.2
bu./acre.
The full-season test had an average yield of 195.4 bu./acre.

The Lawler, IA, field experienced a dry spring and wetter conditions
later in the summer. A June 21 hail storm caused some damage, but yields
were still considered very good. Average yields were 173.7 bu./acre and
188.6 bu./acre for the early and full-season tests, respectively. This
location also had an ultra-early test which had an average yield of
174.6 bu./acre.

There was good spring moisture at the LeMars, IA, location, but then the
field had hot and dry conditions through July. An August hail storm also
caused damage. Despite that stress, the plot grew well and yields were
better than expected. Average yields were 158.5 bu./acre and 176.9
bu./acre for the early and full-season tests, respectively.

The Newell, IA, location had a wet spring followed by a period of heat
stress in June and July. A major windstorm on July 3 caused some green
snap and/or goosenecking on certain hybrids. The green snap did affect
yields, but overall the yields were better than expected. Average yields
were 198.4 bu./acre and 200.6 bu./acre for the early and full-season
tests, respectively. This location also had an ultra-early test which
had an average yield of 183.3 bu./acre.

 The Humboldt, SD, site had ample rain at planting and into
June. July was warm and dry, but August had 7 in. of rain to help kernel
fill. The average yield was 176.4 bu./acre on the early season site and
169.5 bu./acre on the full-season site. These are above the five-year
average of 130 bu./acre on this farm site.

The data collected from the Ethan, SD, site was deemed unreliable due to
difficult planting conditions and uneven emergence from a wet, early
growing season. There was a great deal of yield variance at harvest, and
therefore the results from this test are not being reported for 2007.

 Growers can't control the weather, but they
can help their plants to be healthier, stronger and more vigorous.
Stratego®
fungicide, with XLERATE Technology, helps
growers protect their corn.
XLERATE technology delays the aging of corn plant leaves, essentially
extending their standard growing season. In the process, plants more
readily absorb nitrogen along with other nutrients, moisture and
sunlight.
Stratego treated plants stand better at harvest than non-treated plants;
this leads to improved harvesting efficiency and yield improvements, on
an average, 10 more bushels per ace.

Tuscola, IL, had good growing conditions and
produced a respectable average yield of 56.2 bu./acre.
Tuscola,
IL - Soybeans
Planted May 17, the Findlay, IL, plot had an average yield of 42.9
bu./acre. This was slightly below the 50-bu./acre average yield that was
anticipated. Drought in August and September stressed the plants, and as
a result the harvested seed had a greenish hue.
Findlay,
IL - Soybeans
The Jewett, IL, plot had an average yield of 39.1 bu./acre. August heat
produced medium plant heights, but caused harvested seed size to be very
small.
Jewett,
IL - Soybeans
The Rossville, IL, field had good yields and excellent large-seed
quality. At harvest several varieties had green stems. Average yield was
53.2 bu./acre.

 Combines have swept their way across Iowa, and
Poncho® 250 and Poncho® 1250 seed-applied
insecticides have made their marks as an integral parts of a
high-yielding management program.
In northwest Iowa, F.I.R.S.T. harvest results show
Poncho® 250 or Poncho® 1250 was used on 80
percent of the top 30 yielding hybrids. The top 10 yield varied from
211.5 to 222.1 bushels per acre.
Be sure to reserve Poncho® 250 or Poncho®
1250 this fall for a winning season in 2008.
