FIRST Trial Results Prove Strength of Golden Harvest Soybeans
While seed company trials are an important data point, third-party data provides an unbiased comparison across seed brands.
According to the 2018 Farmers’ Independent Research of Seed Technologies (FIRST) trials, Golden Harvest® soybeans produced 41 Top 3 finishes, beating out both Asgrow® and Pioneer®. While seed company trials are an important data point, third-party data provides an unbiased comparison across seed brands to reveal the top performers.
“The data and insights we gain from third-party trials such as FIRST are extremely valuable,” says Dennis Storm, Golden Harvest soybean product manager. “Year after year, we see superior performance from the Golden Harvest soybean portfolio, which is a result of our advanced genetics combined with the latest traits and technologies to protect against many of today’s toughest threats.”
Since 1997, FIRST has been providing timely, unbiased comparisons of innovative seed genetics to improve yield and profitability for American corn and soybean farmers. In 2018, FIRST ran tests in 15 states on 686 soybean products from 54 companies.
