Fall 2013 Warehouse Show Plot

Our first plot results for the year 2013 are in as we were able to harvest our soybean test plot across from the warehouse. The results were definitely higher than I expected as I was figuring that the plot would run from 35-45 bu/a. This plot weighing was witnessed by Ray Ehlers.
The Results:
Pioneer 90Y41       .4 maturity    47.9 b/a
Pioneer P05T24R   .5 maturity    43.3 b/a
Pioneer 90Y70        .7 maturity    50.4 b/a
Pioneer 90M80       .8 maturity    53.1 b/a
Pioneer 90Y81        .8 maturity    57.2 b/a
Pioneer P10T91R  1.0 maturity    54.1 b/a - Brand New!
Pioneer 91Y10       1.1 maturity   50.4 b/a - Newer! For tougher ground.
Pioneer 91Y30       1.3 maturity   52.7 b/a - A non-SCN variety
AsGrow 1431         1.4 maturity   53.1 b/a
Pioneer 91Y41       1.4 maturity    46.6 b/a
Pioneer P16T04R   1.6 maturity    44.3 b/a
Pioneer 91Y70        1.7 maturity   44.7 b/a
Pioneer 91Y81        1.8 maturity   48.8 b/a
Pioneer P19T60R    1.9 maturity   52.8 b/a (originally I thought that it might have benefited from being close to corn but based on further weighings, it's probably a legitimate yield)

On our plot day I expected that the real yield action would be in the 1.0 maturity range but I didn't expect it to be in the 50 b/a range! 90Y81 was the easy winner and it was one of the untreated varieties in the plot. Our new P10T91R was second. 91Y10 was a couple bushel off the top but it did well considering it was a poor seed sample with low germ when we planted. Moistures were from 10.5% - 12.5%. Note that the 1.4 beans and greater did suffer from the drought but did not benefit from the late rain we had. Also note that 90M80 showed very well as always.
