As farmers we try to do everything possible to see our crops succeed.  We take care in choosing the right seed, soil and chemical treatments.  However, no matter how much we do to try and ensure success there are always factors that we cannot control. Drought is one of those factors.  Here at Big Yield we are working to change …

When Soy-100 is applied directly to plants, it is immediately soaked into the plant.  Once the product is deep inside the plant, the sugar content of the plant rises.  If you are skeptical, go pour a sugary beverage on a patch of grass in your front lawn. Check back on the spot in one week and you will understand exactly …

Hello, this is Dean Alexander with Alexander Farms. I want to show you a comparison today of what we’ve used for starter fertilizer this year. This is our first year using it. And if you look here I’ve got three samples here. This is corn that was used with starter fertilizer on it. We put four gallons an acre on. …

Crop planted in the middle of May. In-furrow fertilization used. Tremendous response. We’ve had 16″ – 21″ scattered rainfall in the last six weeks in the spring of growing corn. Corn that normally gets planted in the end of April here got planted in the middle of May, so you can see what kind of response we’ve had to the …

This is Bill Cook. It’s July 1. I’m at the Bay Farms. We’re looking over research plots. You can see this plot just got planted about a week ago, around the 25th just coming up. The earlier plot’s about almost a month earlier. We should get some pretty good data out of this plot here. Some of this is uh… …

Here we are at BigYield.us. Today is June 28th. It is 8:34 AM. We are cutting our wheat plot, hoping for high yields. We are thinking everything should be in the 80 to 100 bushel yield range. We just cut a field 118.5 bushel to the acre was the average on the in-furrow wheat trials we’ve done. Be sure and …

This is Bill Cook with BigYield.us. We are here today planting research plots at the Garden City location. It’s 1 of about 25 locations here in the midwest that we’re planting. This also is one of Dr. Scaboo’s research plot locations. Each time you hear one of those trips it’s another variety. So we should be getting some good precision …

Hi. My name’s John Ortiz with BigYield.us Today we are looking at a research plot here that was looking great all season. This is one of the reasons why anti-drift is so important and why you don’t spray in windy conditions. As you can tell the leaves are speckling from drift from a local farmer or neighbor I guess you …

This is John Ortiz with BigYield.us. I’m standing here with Jeff from Monsanto and we’re sitting here looking at some high yield wheat. We’re just looking at some of the things that we’ve come across while we’re evaluating some wheat. Here you can tell the army worm is basically been mummified. This is why it’s important to spray the wheat …

Hi. My name’s John Ortiz with BigYield.us. Today we are looking at an in-furrow product from Country Road Distributors called BP In-Furrow. We’ve done some tests on corn early on and had some good results with early germination. But one of the things we’re testing here is in-furrow treatment on soybeans. We had a very good germination on this seed, …
