See how specific corn 🌽 and soybean 🫛brands, traits, maturities performed across MULTI-YEAR FIRST tests using product reports: firstseedtests.com/products/corn/…
As of October 23, these are #soybeans #harvest25 reports complete (green pins). View, filter, and search soybeans reports here: firstseedtests.com/reports/soybea…
ICYMI - FIRST plots are over 50% complete. See the yield trends featured by DTN here 👇.
With roughly half of FIRST yield plots harvested, corn is averaging less than in 2024. ICYMI: dtn.link/a31uei
So far this season, yield trial results from the FIRST network seem to support anecdotal harvest reports that overall corn yields are lower than USDA estimates released last month. The difference could be enough to push the U.S. average corn yield below the record set in 2024, though perhaps not enough to stymie record production. Crops Editor @JasonJenkinsDTN reports: dtn.link/a31uei

We're excited for the results of FIRST's 2025 Seed Trials to start coming out! As always, these trials test how various seeds perform in a variety of circumstances and geographies. The results are incredibly helpful to American corn and soybean farmers as they make decisions to hopefully improve yield and profitability in the future. We at EarthOptics are very proud to have partnered with FIRST on these trials this year. By integrating our soil measurements into FIRST's trial data, farmers will get a clearer and more comprehensive understanding about why seeds performed as they did - and how they might perform under similar conditions on their own farms. To access FIRST's latest reports, visit firstseedtests.com. For a more detailed rundown on the FIRST Seed Trials, watch this video or visit youtu.be/j2Y0bLtaesU.
