FIRST Variety Trials Results

Independent variety trials are a cornerstone of selecting growers’ most important input, seed. Farmers’ Independent Research of Seed Technologies (FIRST) has a unique research program to demonstrate the performance of corn and soybean seed for farmers on their farms. FIRST works with scores of farm families who host test plots. These tests include seed entered by America’s finest seed companies to make head-tohead comparisons of yield using data gathered from randomized, replicated plots, three per location.

The 2024 season was characterized by heavy spring rains, good summer moisture, followed by an exceedingly dry late season. Just one of the FIRST soybean plots in Britt, Iowa was lost to flooding, while many areas had considerable issues with delayed planting and replants. After emergence, and with some variability due to saturated soils, the abundant rainfall established a good crop throughout the FIRST trials. The dry finish probably reduced yield potential, and made both dry down and harvest progress very rapid.

What’s new with FIRST? The FIRST team participated in the 2024 Farm Progress Show in Boone, IA this summer, and had an opportunity to present the trials, new tools, and new personnel. This year a new research manager, Nick Hoffman, took over the northwest Iowa region trials. Hoffman is a popcorn breeder, with extensive experience in field research trials. Speaking about his new role he said, “it’s great to be out getting to know other farmers and their communities.”

The FIRST program launched an innovative mobile app, free and downloadable from their website, to make accessing results easier on mobile devices. Their web tools include complete results for each corn and soybean product in the tests, spanning all locations and years tested. Users can search for seed by maturity, traits, and other characteristics. New this year is Soybean Cyst Nematode source ratings. Growers can narrow down soybean seed they are considering to Peking SCN resistance for example, and view those yield results.

Growers can also look at FIRST Harvest Reports that pertain to their growing practices and management. Yield reports for plots can be selected based on previous crops including cover crops, no-till and other tillage, and soil pH, organic matter, and more.

Challenges ahead Continuing consolidation in the seed industry is a challenge for the FIRST program. As a trusted independent trial program, there is healthy

participation from national and independent seed companies. Brands not appearing and some brands in the results have not entered directly, with those products in the tests placed as checks or in cooperation with plots hosts (designated as Grower Comparison, GC or Check, CK in the results tables). FIRST Program Manager, Jessica Bhalerao explained, “FIRST needs the support of producers who require objective data for seed decision-making using FIRST’s freely available, unbiased research.” She noted that the program has an advisory group to consider how the trials can continue to serve the agricultural community into the future.

On-farm trials are an excellent way to see how the newest seed genetics and traits perform on the farm. FIRST encourages producers to consider hosting a plot and contacting the program with feedback or questions.

FIRST is grateful for the opportunity to serve the Iowa agricultural community with performance results for American seed brands on Iowa farms, offering producers the value of independent, unbiased information for seed selections. Visit www. firstseedtests.com and learn more about FIRST.

Yield & Income Factors:

Test Comments: This was the year for Colleen's farm to be a garden spot although at the beginning it did not seem that way. A very small window allowed it to be planted and immediately afterward hard driving rain went on for a couple of days. We thought that the plot might be a loss, yet to our pleasant surprise, the plants were fairly resilient and stood up to the challenge. A portion of this plot in the full-season test did however get washed some. Otherwise, it was a great plot, producing a yield well above what Colleen considered her best yield so far. One replicate in the full-season test was dropped due to damage from heavy rains.

Yield & Income Factors:

Test Comments: Greene was planted slightly later than desired due to the wet spring conditions. Soil conditions were good, with moisture at 60% field capacity and temperatures in the mid-60s. Field nutrients were lost due to the abnormally wet spring and early summer conditions. Rainfall was well above average in the first two months of the growing season, with 15.1” by July 16th. However, showers decreased, leaving the crop lacking moisture in the later growth stages. August and September were much drier than usual. As of harvest, the U.S. drought monitor has listed Butler County in a D1 –

Test Comments: We decided to plant this site during the last week of April since conditions were fit and a lot of rain was in the forecast. The showers rolled in a few days later and didn't let up much for a solid 2 weeks. A mechanical issue on the planter caused the drive shaft to stop spinning intermittently which caused some small skips to occur within all plots of the early and full season tests. The issue wasn't caught until the end of the day The skips were regular and uniform among plots but they resulted in reduced final plant stands of those tests and likely also reduced yield to some degree, though statistics were very good to accept the results. Overall, the first half of the growing season was about 12" over the average for precipitation and dried up significantly in August through the rest of the season.

Test Comments: This is another site where extremes on both ends of the spectrum shaped the outcome of the crop. On the day of planting we pushed to beat a predicted rain event and as we were pulling out of the field it began to rain. Bob said that they received as much of their annual precipitation all consolidated into the months of March-July, with a dry finish to the season. This area is also consistently windy, and with a fast dry down the stalks became more brittle and were more prone to lodging as noted in the ultra-early and full-season tests. Overall, the rain made a nice yield for this plot while the faster dry down coupled with wind made it a bit more challenging to harvest.

This area is also consistently windy, and with a fast dry down the stalks became more brittle and were more prone to lodging as noted in the ultra-early and full-season tests. Overall, the rain made a nice yield for this plot while the faster dry down coupled with wind made it a bit more challenging to harvest.

Test Comments: It was a year of opposites for Jeff Loehr on his Webster County farm. This landscape is relatively flat with small rolling undulations. In a normal year, the lower ground typically would produce more bushels, but as Jeff stated, it was the opposite. The tops of the rolling knobs were more productive this year. This area also received a tremendous amount of precipitation mostly in March-July. It is possible that some of the lower spots in the field had more hypoxic conditions than the more well-drained higher ground. This variation was present yet the yields were favorable. This plot produced similar to the surrounding field average of 244 bu/ac.

Test Comments: Wet spring conditions delayed planting until May 14. Soil conditions were good during planting, as the temperature was mid-60s, and moisture levels were around 50% field capacity. Available nitrogen may have been reduced due to the unusually wet spring and early summer conditions. Showers followed about a week after planting and continued to do so, with May, June, and July receiving much more rain than average. June was the wettest month, more than 3" over average. August rainfalls continued to hold steady, with Osage receiving 4.7”, above average, while many other parts of Iowa had not experienced as much moisture. At harvest, this county was one of the least drought-stricken across Northern Iowa. † See last page for abbreviation descriptions.

Test Comments: This site was planted in a narrow window and like most of the region received several rain events soon after planting. Plants emerged uniformly and pushed through the cold wet season to make for a good result in the end. This was a uniform test site with good standability across the board. This location makes for a great comparison of products across years. As we wrap up the season, like most areas the dry conditions prevail and will most likely set the stage for the 2025 growing season.

Yield & Income Factors:

Test Comments: This site is located in the prime farm country near Sioux Center, IA. The growing season had ideal and timely rains and produced a bountiful crop in this area. This plot was influenced by black tar spot evident across the entire plot, where the mid and upper leaves were infected. Yet, standability was good and ears filled out to the tip. Some top-end yield or test weight may have been lost as a result of disease, but ultimately the plants were healthy enough to push through the pressure, standing well and making good yields. One replicate was removed from ultra-early test analysis due to high yield variability.

Test Comments: This site is located in the prime farm country near Sioux Center, IA. The growing season had ideal and timely rains and produced a bountiful crop in this area. This plot was influenced by black tar spot evident across the entire plot, where the mid and upper leaves were infected. Yet, standability was good and ears filled out to the tip. Some top-end yield or test weight may have been lost as a result of disease, but ultimately the plants were healthy enough to push through the pressure, standing well and making good yields. One replicate was removed from ultra-early test analysis due to high yield variability.

Test Comments: Planting was delayed to May 17 due to early spring rains, which is about 3 weeks later than the usual planting date in this area. There were 4.5 inches of precipitation in the first month of planting, with temperatures averaging 63°F. The second half of June saw 5.6 inches of rainfall, making it the wettest period of the growing season. The wet spring and early summer led to significant nitrogen loss across this farm; these conditions also favored the development of diseases such as rust and Northern corn leaf blight. However, precipitation was not as constant in August and September. We harvested the ultra-early test on Oct 8. There was some concern that all hybrids of the early and full-season tests were not black-layered yet on Oct 8, so these tests were given more time to dry down in the field and harvested later on October 23. † See last page for abbreviation descriptions.

Yield & Income Factors:

Test Comments: This site was planted earlier than others, and conditions were normal, with the soil moderately dry and warm. After planting, the site received 3.5 inches of rain in its first two weeks. Pre-emergence chemistry struggled to hold and significant weed pressures required a post-application of glyphosate for control over the traited hybrids. Conventionals were hand-weeded. Above-average rain continued, with 16" of accumulated rain by July 4. The wet season contributed to disease pressures, which required fungicides more than usual. The second half of the season was significantly dryer, with 6.8" to carry the corn through the reproductive stages. With more moisture in July and August, yields could have been higher. This was an average year for corn production at the Rottinghaus farm.

Bio-Empruv

The Broad Spectrum Disease Prevention

General information: BioEmpruv is a biological fermentation extract containing a host of di erent substances that accomplish numerous actions within a corn plant. BioEmpruv contains biologically derived extracts, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, natural growth regulators and simulators, antioxidants, amino acids and bases and more. It also contains natural phytoalexins to boost the corn plants’ immune system and to increase the resistance to disease and pathogens as well as to environmental stresses. BioEmpruv contains natural and biodegradable ingredients. No chemicals or residues. BioEmpruv will be your best line of defense against Goss’s Wilt and other bacterial leaf diseases. Curative & very systemic. Much wider application window. Developed by PhD biochemist Dr Awada, Logan, UT.

Bio-Empruv

* Commercially applied to spuds, sweet and eld corn since 2014. It has increased corn yields from 10-90 Bu/A, depending on application timing and infection rate. Keeps plants green and lling until natural maturity (BL) is reached. Drydown with normal senescent plants let the healthy ears dry faster and earlier than corn and grain from a die down plant.

Foliar Application

• Produces a systemic e ect in the plant. For best result apply 8 oz at V6 to VS and 24 oz at V12 to V14 before the plants get too tall. Apply along with a high quality surfactant like Argosy at 1 qt/100 gals to prevent wash-o and prolong e ect. 2.5 to 3 months activity.

• Compatible with most pesticides and can be applied with other fertilizers, minerals, herbicides, insecticides or fungicides. Always refer to the other products’ labels for compatibility and do a jar test. Can be mixed with a fungicide, herbicide, mineral or insecticide if needed. BE acts against fungal & plus bacterial leaf diseases. Safe to humans

• If applying thru a center pivot, set the gallonage per acre at .1” to prevent wash o .

• Apply late season to an unhealthy corn crop for faster recovery. Can be applied through electric drive or other pivots set to apply .1 to .2” of water. It can also be applied aerially or with a ground rig. Thermographic imaging showed it stopped an infection within three days. Mix with 2 oz of Albion’s AA chelated Cu and Mn for Tar Spot. 2 years of trials in a heavy Tar Spot area near Monroe, Wis veri ed this. Completely safe to humans with a with a vanilla odor.

Test Comments: This site, located in the North Central Glaciated Plains of Iowa, produced a substantial crop given the circumstances. It was a challenge to plant due to rain events, but its window allowed for good uniform emergence before another series of significant rain events occurred. Many of the communities north of here experienced catastrophic flooding. Surrounding fields had ponded water that caused replants, delayed planting, or prevent plant situations. Rains prevented herbicide applications. The plot was planted into strips where Jeff injected nutrients into the subsurface. At stand counts, the plants were noticeably robust given the great start they had. More rain fell well into June, producing variation where N may have leached out of spots with slightly lighter till than other spots in the plot. Overall, this plot represents another set of extreme events from very high rainfall then a dry finish.

It was a challenge to plant due to rain events, but its window allowed for good uniform emergence before another series of significant rain events occurred. Many of the communities north of here experienced catastrophic flooding. Surrounding fields had ponded water that caused replants, delayed planting, or prevent plant situations. Rains prevented herbicide applications. The plot was planted into strips where Jeff injected nutrients into the subsurface. At stand counts, the plants were noticeably robust given the great start they had. More rain fell well into June, producing variation where N may have leached out of spots with slightly lighter till than other spots in the plot. Overall, this plot represents another set of extreme events from very high rainfall then a dry finish.

Test Comments: This trial faced several challenges. Soon after planting, unprecedented amounts of precipitation resulted in highly saturated soils. Stands were thinned and some plots were washed or crusted. This variation seems to have been sporadic throughout the trial and was not widespread. Thus, careful notes were taken during stand counts and harvest. This plot was treated for aphids twice in the season. Weed control was excellent and as an interesting note, the new See & Spray technology was used on this plot for a second application of herbicide. One replicate was removed due to the higher yield variability. Use caution with elevated variation in the remaining replications from the effects of heavy rain on stands.

Test Comments: Spring rainfall caused planting delays across much of Hardin County. May was 4.4" above average and soils that struggled to drain well led to many fields left to plant in June. Once planted, emergence was a struggle as germinated seedlings had to contend with more heavy rainfall and slightly cooler soil temperatures for a couple weeks. The result were final stands right around 100k, but well off of the planted population. Overall, the first half of the season was very wet. The faucet shut off after June and the last half of the season was really dry with only a couple showers mid and late August to provide relief. Hardin County now finds itself in a D0 drought once again at harvest. † See last page for abbreviation descriptions.

Test Comments: This trial was an excellent site in Northwest Iowa on a uniform generally flat piece of ground situated in the rolling hills. Heavier soils at this site made for great water-holding capacity which helped the beans finish out in the drier months of August and September. Excellent growing conditions were noted by the cooperator. However, like most of the region, harvest came with hot, dry, and windy conditions causing rapid dry down. This site was comparatively close to the reported surrounding field average of 68 bu/acre.

Test Comments: The dry weather over the past month made it hard for the bean crop in this area to fill pods with the seed size needed for top-end yields. With only 0.3" of rainfall recorded during September, the crop just ran out of moisture needed to finish well. The result of the dry weeks from midJuly through the end of the season was smaller seed size and fewer pods per node than what we've seen at this site in the past. The hot and dry weather just prior to harvest resulted in grain moisture falling rapidly over the past week. Harvest in the area started with green stems holding leaves where pods were brown and moistures were in the 13's, to bone dry in a matter of 3 to 4 days. Overall, this site exceeded the historic yield average by nearly 1.5 bu/acre.

Yield & Income Factors:

Test Comments: Coming out of drought conditions from the end of 2023, farmers in Kossuth County were hoping for much-needed moisture to make a crop for this season. Well, the moisture definitely came and it didn't let up much from the end of May through the first week of July. Several showers were excessive which led to a fair amount of surface drainage. Saturated soils led to emergence issues and some stand loss. By mid-August soils were starting to dry up once more and aphids were moving in. This field did get an application of bifenthrin to knock them down. A couple of localized showers on Aug 14-15 delivered some much-needed moisture and kept the crops happy for a little while. But dry weather returned, Kossuth county is back in a D0 drought. Overall, the bean yields were nearly 5.5 bu/acre higher than the running average from this farm. † See last page for abbreviation descriptions.

Test Comments: This location experienced planting delays after the wet spring leaving soils sticky for nearly 2 weeks early in May. This caused most farmers in the area to wait to plant beans until conditions improved, which wasn't until the 2nd -3rd week of May. Once things got going, planters were rolling fast and furious to stay ahead of more forecasted rain. Jeff's field received nearly 3" of rain during the two days after planting. After ending 2023 in D2 drought, the added moisture was welcome even though it pushed back planting dates. By the beginning of July, soil moisture had returned to normal levels. But as the summer went on, rainfall was less regular. Overall, a few late rain events came in time for plants to take advantage and fill pods. This field ended just a quarter inch under the 10-yr average from planting through 9/15. Plants were standing well at harvest and yielded nearly 13.5 bu/acre over the historic average for this site.

Test Comments: Like most of northern Iowa, the growing season was characterized by wet weather for the first half of the growing season through early July followed by a shift to very dry conditions from August through September. As it turned out, the surplus of recorded moisture from April through July was exactly the same amount as the deficit experienced later. Not all of the spring rain was utilized as much of the rainfall from the big storms was lost to runoff. Plant stands suffered from excessive soil saturation. The dry soils late in the season resulted in smaller seed size and prevented the highend yields we have seen before on this farm. Overall, the trial was consistent and no lodging was observed. † See last page for abbreviation descriptions. Dark colored row identifies the check product found in early- and full-season tests.

Test Comments: After a wet spring, we were able to get this site planted on May 14. While planting conditions were not perfect, we were glad to get them in the ground during a narrow planting window. Several large showers began to roll through this area by May 20 and left soils saturated for an extended period. Germinated seedlings struggled to emerge in the soggy soils which negatively impacted final emergence. A few nice showers in August were well-timed to help finish the crop. Overall, this was a good consistent site and yields were nearly 12 bu/acre higher than the historic yield for this farm.

Yield & Income Factors:

Test Comments: The attached precipitation report tells the story of how wet it was around here. Rick recorded about 8" of rain in the gauge within a week after planting. Plant stands were severely reduced and the Rottinghaus brothers decided to replant. The plot was left alone and we observed poor emergence across much of the first and second replicates. The thin stand and excess rain also made weed control a struggle. Residual herbicide was not able to hold for long and full canopy never did occur. Two applications of Roundup + Liberty were applied during the season along with walking the plot two times for escapes. The plants looked short and the trial looked tough due to the thin stands. Overall, this was a challenging season for the bean plot on this farm.
