ABOUT THE TESTS… The First Mid Agronomic Partners Seed Research Program is the largest Third Party evaluator of new seed products performed by a Farm Management firm in the United States. Seed companies partner with us each year to provide an independent scientific evaluation of their products.

Throughout the year, our research specialists evaluate how each corn and soybean product performs under different conditions. We also evaluate new crop biotechnologies, plant protection technologies, and production enhancement technologies. Our program is unique in that we provide information on both traited corn and soybeans, as well as conventional soybeans. Good management decisions begin with good information. We are dedicated to discovering, evaluating, and implementing the latest agriculture production information/technology to give our landowners the First Mid advantage. First Mid Ag Services is pleased to share research from replicated and strip plots across the state of Illinois. We would like to thank our strip plot cooperators and seed company representatives for their support in this program. For more information or to participate in the testing program, contact Tyler Roth at troth@firstmid.com.

REPLICATED TRIALS (C/SB rotation) Replicated trials are similar to the kind of tests used by seed companies to evaluate experimental products. Each corn or soybean entry is planted three times at each location, and the yields are then averaged to get the reported yield found in this publication. The size of each test is limited to reduce variability from potential variations in soil or field conditions. Planting is performed with a specialized planter, and harvesting is done with a research combine.

Corn - Each hybrid is tested in 30” rows, four rows wide and 17.5’ long. The center two rows are harvested for data.

Soybeans - Each variety is tested in 30” rows, two rows wide and 12’ long.

STRIP PLOT TRIALS (C/SB rotation) Strip Plots are on-farm trials utilizing commercial planting and harvesting equipment. Each entry is planted one time at each location, three to six rows wide and at least 300’ long. All four rows are harvested and data is collected through the use of a weigh wagon. A “check” hybrid is planted at the beginning and end of the plot and after every fourth hybrid. The “check” is used to identify variations due to differences in drainage, soil types, and conditions.

DEMONSTRATION PLOT Our Illinois demonstration plot is located just south of Towanda, IL on Towanda-Barnes Road.

2021 RESEARCH SITES Corn Strip Plots: Fairbury, Kenney, La Place, Shirley, Towanda, Williamsville

DATA ANALYSIS Net $

Yield x Price/Bu. ($5.00 Corn, $13.00 Soybeans) minus Seed Cost per acre

The check hybrid is planted at the beginning, end, and as every fifth entry. All hybrids are compared to the check, and the yields are adjusted accordingly. Yield is calculated at 15% moisture using a 1.4% shrink factor. Gross Dollars are calculated at $5.00 per bushel minus $0.035 per point of moisture drying factor. Net Dollars are calculated at Gross Dollars minus seed cost.

First Mid Ag Services serves individuals, family and investment groups, business firms, and institutions seeking experienced, competent, and high quality services for Midwest U.S. farmland ownership. We manage more Illinois farmland than any other firm.

Managing, buying or selling, or valuing farms to optimize benefits of farmland as an investment is a specialized and complex business. Owning land has been a basic privilege and a sound investment since America's founding. With the pride and heritage of farm ownership also come responsibilities and duties. The realities of today's global farm economy make managing farms increasingly complex. First Mid Ag Services has for decades successfully helped owners of farmland manage this complexity providing clients with comfort, confidence, and optimum financial returns.
