Welcome to our 2015 Test Plot Results. First we'll look at the soybean plots.


South Valley Show Soybean Plot 9/15/15 - This plot is the plot right across the highway from the warehouse. This plot was the first one that showed that we have a new soybean variety that might create new yield levels for the industry. P15T46R2 showed such a high yield, we had to make sure that we didn't accidentally harvest an extra row by mistake!

                                                         Yield                 Moisture            
Pioneer 90M80                                 56.8                      10.3
Pioneer P09T74 R2                          55.8                      10.9                      
Pioneer P10T02 R                            58.1                      11.5                      
Pioneer P10T91 R                            56.9                      10.0
AsGrow 1431                                   55.8                      10.8
Pioneer P14T52R2                           54.1                      11.3
Pioneer P15T83 R                            52.7                      11.4                     
Pioneer P15T46 R2                          63.7                      11.1 - Clearly a winner!                     
Pioneer P16T17 R2                          54.4                      10.7                      
Pioneer P22T69 R                            46.4                      10.6                  



Sorenson’s Soybean Plot 9/15/15 - The Sorenson Plot is located 1/2 mile south of the White Rock Dam road and 2 miles from Hwy 75. One interesting thing about this plot is that by grid sampling, we discovered that the plot is actually in an area where the soil ph is acidic. P10T02R was excellent! P15T46 was near the top also.

Jorschumb Plot Soybean Plot 9/15/15 - This plot is located just east of Wheaton one mile. Very good yields and nothing stuck out too much although note that P15T46R2 was at the top again!

Anderson Soybean Plot 9/15/15 - This plot was located north of Wheaton along Hwy 75. It was planted on May 1st and harvested on September 21st. Fairly good yields for the year, especially north of Wheaton. One variety dominated this plot. P15T46 is a new variety with excellent IDC and Phytophthora scores also. By the looks of this plot, yield is a big score with this variety also!
                                                        Yield                 Moisture
Pioneer P22T69 R                            47.6                      24.0

Pioneer 90M80                                 43.6                       8.9

Soybean plots in general usually don't have a huge yield difference between the varieties. It is rare to have a variety stand out so much that we have to check to make sure we didn't combine an extra row by mistake. But this result is no mistake. P15T46R2 just plain stood out!
