Introduction | 1

INTRODUCTION

FIRST works for you the farmer… and you the seed salesman and you the agronomist. We apply our best efforts for you, the seed consultant and farm manager. We labor long hours for our seed sponsors. We are committed to working for all of you with one focused mission:

To provide timely unbiased comparisons of innovative seed genetics to improve yield and profitability for American farmers.

We live in a world driven by data. Data helps us weigh our options, mitigate risk and make better decisions. It offers greater control. FIRST’s work is about gathering and comparing data so that you can be more confident with your seed product choices.

FIRST delivers actionable yield data so farmers can make better seed buying choices for their unique conditions. Our information products are also designed to help seedsmen and seed consultants match the best performing seed products with their customer’s particular growing needs. We give agronomists a comparative tool in their toolbox that fills gaps in regions and growing conditions that their data may not cover. We give seed sponsors a strategic perspective on strengths and opportunities for growth under one consistent testing program across a contiguous geography covering most of the country’s corn and soybean growing regions.

FIRST provides a fair and objective platform under a uniform standard to compare seed productivity under a multitude of soil and growing conditions across 15 states. We test over 1,650

seed products from over 70 seed companies across more than 30 distinct growing regions. We manage over 530 replicated tests on 320 farms so the corn and soybean industry can better match seed performance with particular growing conditions. We’ve been doing this work for 22 years.

Our data is designed to deliver different perspectives to meet different needs. FIRST produces three information products that offer critical insight at the micro-, meso- and macro-levels. Harvest Reports document seed product performance at the field level. Performance Summaries compile all of the Harvest Reports within a multi-county corn or soybean region. The work presented here in this annual Yield Guide identifies seed products that dominate FIRST tests across multiple regions and years. It offers a strategic-level perspective. All our information products can be found and downloaded in pdf format at www.firstseedtests.com.

Our work relies on a productive collaboration between cooperating farmers, sponsoring seed companies, our Field Managers and our network of publishing partners. Seed companies sponsor entries in the program, independent farmers provide the test site locations, our independent Field Managers administer the program, and our publishing partners help us disseminate our data to over 400,000 famers.

We are grateful for the opportunity to be of service. We invite interested parties to visit www.firstseedtests.com for more detailed and complete information on all our information products. We look forward to continuing our longstanding and productive partnerships in the delivery of timely unbiased comparisons of innovative seed genetics to improve yield and profitability for American farmers.

FIRST Works For You

This Yield Guide is compiled from the 571 tests conducted by the 11 independent businessmen, our field managers, listed on pages 7, 15, and 25. These FIRST Field Managers and I work collectively to develop and manage all aspects of this process, from designing testing methodology to delivering the corn grain and soybean performance information to the farming community within days of harvest.

The warm growing season expedited corn development to allow harvest to begin 1–2 weeks ahead of normal in

many areas. However, extended wet periods in October and November delayed harvest considerably. As I write this in early December, we have 10 tests remaining to harvest. This delay as well as strong wind events challenged corn stalk strength and ear retention of many seed products. The wet conditions also reduced grain quality of both corn and soybean. Seed germination and/or disease growth on grain prior to harvest reduced grain quality and fostered excessive toxin production by diseases that resulted in grain price dockage when sold.

The 2018 harvest gave some growers the best yields ever seen, southern Illinois for example, while others had poor yields in drought stressed areas of eastern Kansas and northwest Missouri. Excessive rainfall in portions of northern Iowa and Minnesota delivered very good yields on very well drained sloped field areas and poor to moderate yield on flat areas, despite having very good tile drainage systems.

Whatever your key criterion for selecting a seed product, we hope this Yield Guide will help you find products best suited for the challenges on your farm.

2 | Operational Methodology

A Collaboration for Success FIRST’s Information Products Offer Different PerspectivesWe believe that the most useful tool is the one that gets used the most. FIRST is committed to making our data easy to navigate, understand and apply. Our goal is to make our data useful to all our audiences: farmers, seedsmen, managers and consultants, agronomists, and seed companies.

FIRST produces three information products, Harvest Reports, Performance Summaries and an annual Yield Guide. These products offer different levels of insight. Harvest Reports are a field-level view of product performance. Performance Summaries are a multi-county or regional perspective and the Yield Guide identifies products that we know the most about over the longest testing period. These three products offer a set of tools useful in finding the best seed products with particular characteristics for different conditions and considerations. Each product is designed with the end user in mind, providing the perspective that’s most applicable to a particular need.

All of our information products can be downloaded from firstseedtests.com in pdf format. The Yield Guide is also available in printed format. A copy can be requested through the website.

FIRST accomplishes its mission in collaboration with seed company sponsors, independent farmers, FIRST Field Managers and our network of publishing partners. Seed companies sponsor entries in the program, our cooperating farmers provide test site locations across 15 states, our independent Field Managers administer the program, and our network of publishing partners help disseminate our data to over 400,000 farmers and agriculture professionals.

THE SEED SPONSOR’S ROLE Seed companies have relied on FIRST yield data for the past 22 years as it provides an independent and unbiased source for presentation to a discerning and competitive marketplace.

They choose products and testing regions to meet a varied number of strategic priorities. New products, new traits, and new territories are just some of the reasons seed companies sponsor the FIRST program.

Seed companies trust FIRST because every product is assured accurate and unbiased testing. They have increased their investment in the FIRST program because FIRST consistently delivers actionable data—within days of the fall harvest—that can be leveraged for the late fall seed sales season and beyond.

Our sponsors provide seed and applicable entry fees to our Field Managers who administer the program. This investment delivers comparative data for their production and marketing decisions. It also directly benefits the individual growers and the entire American corn and soybean industry as a whole.

THE TESTING SITE HOST’S ROLEThe testing site hosts play an integral role in the FIRST program. Collectively, they offer a representative sample of diverse growing conditions across 15 states.

Many FIRST site hosts have been affiliated with the program for over 10 years. Reasons vary for host participation. Some hosts value the yield data gained from testing 50 to 150 seed products in their field using their production practices. Others view it as a goodwill contribution benefiting the agricultural community as a whole.

FIRST greatly appreciates our host partner’s collaboration. Sharing their knowledge of what is required to make a business of producing grain is an ongoing lesson for each of us.

THE FIRST FIELD MANAGER’S ROLEThe role of our Field Managers is that of program administrator. Field Managers recruit and work with seed sponsors and plot hosts within their respective regions. They administer seed sponsor accounts and identify prime test site locations that are representative of the geographic diversity and conditions within their area. Field Managers also process and package seed selections, and plant and monitor the test sites. In the fall they harvest, collect the data and transfer it to the data manager for final processing.

Throughout the year they attend mandatory FIRST training sessions, and update their methods and equipment to keep up with the latest developments.

THE PRINT PUBLISHER’S ROLEFIRST collaborates with an extensive network of publishing partners that help us get our data to farmers and agricultural professionals across the country. Numerous local and regional agricultural newspapers publish our Harvest Reports on an annual basis. Collectively, they reach over 400,000 farmers and seed industry professionals.

The YIELD GUIDE is our broadest perspective. It offers the most information on the products we know the most about. It’s published annually to identify seed products that dominate FIRST tests across multiple regions and years.

The Corn Belt is divided into 3 areas where all FIRST tested products within distinct maturity ranges are compared. Product yield is presented by the average number of bushels above or below the test site average and may include well over 300 farm comparisons per product. The Yield Guide serves as a conservative and well-proven resource to identify and position widely adapted seed products most likely to succeed on your farm.

HARVEST REPORTS are field-level results. Think of them as the farm next door. Harvest Reports register results from individual test sites in locations that are representative of specific areas. They are the results of replicated seed tests from farms participating in a FIRST corn or soybean program within your region. These reports offer a direct side-by-side comparison of products grown at each test site.

Designed for


PERFORMANCE SUMMARIES compile the results of all the Harvest Reports within a multi-county corn or soybean region organized by maturity ranges. Test entries are sponsored by seed brands conducting business in these areas. The same seed products are tested at all test sites within a region. Generally, states are subdivided into 2-5 regions. Some regions overlap 2 or 3 states if appropriate.

These summaries offer a direct side-by-side comparison of products grown at each test site. This apples-to-apples approach demonstrates seed performance differences due to production practices or growth environment. Product yield results within a region are averaged and ranked. Individual test site results presented provide insight about where and when these products are best suited.

The aerial image shows the 2018 FIRST soybean test located at Thomasboro, Illinois hosted by farmer member Joe Burke. The "heat-map" superimposed over the all-season test uses color to represent yield level for each mini-strip (10 ft wide by 40 ft long). Highest yield is bright green while lowest yield levels are bright red. Mini-strips containing the same number have identical seed products (3 mini-strips per product).


Testing Methodology | 5

TESTING METHODOLOGY

Unbiased, Accurate Yield Testing, Every TimeThe FIRST program is carefully designed with the goal of providing the most accurate and unbiased yield data possible for delivery within the shortest possible time frame. FIRST posts its data at www.firstseedtests.com on average within 3 days after harvest.

A tremendous amount of preparation and standardization is required to consistently meet this goal. Prior to planting, product information is gathered, tagged, verified and standardized across all FIRST tests. Corn entries are grouped by similar plant height and the sub-groups organized to minimize the impact of shading from taller adjacent hybrids and soybean products of similar cyst nematode resistance are also grouped.

Test sites are organized in strips 10 feet wide by 45 feet long, with a minimum of three replications of an identical product set at each of four to six sites within a testing region. Replications are comprised of 3 or 4 identical product sub-groups, where products are randomized within sub-group and sub-groups are randomized within each replication.

This way, entries disrupted by an unforeseen event

(compaction, ponding, poor stands, etc.) can be eliminated and the unaffected area of the test retained in complete replications.

Test locations are representative of the geographic diversity within a region. Ideal sites have uniform, well-drained soils where farmer hosts use standard production practices for the area. Typically, all tests at a location are conducted adjacent to each other to minimize yield variance.

In late summer, harvest files are generated from functionally identical templates. All harvest data and agronomic information for crop production is input into these files. Typically within 24 hours of harvest, Field Managers supply these files to the Data Manager who analyzes them and generates harvest reports to post at www.firstseedtests.com. Our process timeliness is shared with seed sponsors in our Top of the Year Newsletter.

FIRST personnel are proud to deliver the best quality yield data possible across the major corn and soybean growing regions in the United States. Through careful preparation, process standardization, and automation, we consistently deliver a high volume of quality test summaries.

6 | How to Use This Book

HOW TO USE THIS BOOK

Build Confidence in Your Seed Selection Confidence is the commodity in greatest demand when making seed product decisions. FIRST’s annual Yield Guide is designed to help you make your seed product(s) selection with greater confidence.

This Guide presents the highest yielding products that we know the most about.All products presented in this guide have proven themselves above average for yield again and again, some measured

hundreds of times across various regions averaged over multiple years. That they perform over a wide range of regional growing seasons indicates greater adaptability to whatever growing conditions will be encountered next year. Regional yield advantages also identify where any one product has been most competitive.

This perspective also identifies opportunities—from field-level to strategic. This Yield Guide is designed to deliver confidence to growers, seed dealers and sales management alike.

To find the product information for your particular needs follow these simple steps:

There are two important reasons to consider hybrids with high yield over a large area:

1. A wider area of adaptation means that a hybrid is better equipped to deal with a larger number of growing conditions.

2. Identifying several broadly adapted hybrids (or soybean varieties) can serve as standards or checks while reviewing data summaries per region or per test site.

5. Contact your seed supplier. Information for seed supplier(s) can be found in

alphabetical order along the bottom of the pages in this book.

6. (Optional). For more information on how well these products compete among those

we know the most about, see the FIRST regional Performance Summaries (Northwest, West and East Zones) found at www.firstseedtests.com.
