This is a drier field environment but it looks like P9917 is starting here where it ended last year, right on top. 36V51 and P0062 did well also. Pioneer P9526amx is a new 95 day that we will have to watch this year. It is an early 95 day and seemed to handle the dry weather quite well. P9305am is a new 93 day that did well also. A good start for Pioneer, it looks like the excellent drought-tolerance scores we enjoy are paying off.
