On December 31^st, the premiere 3^rd party seed testing organization in the Midwest, Farmers Independent Research of Seed Technologies (FIRST), published a report of their top performing products in 2022. Dairyland Seed products excelled in many of the maturity group reports, which we are proud to share in the links below.

DSR-1505E gave us a top 10 showing in the 0.0-2.0 soybean maturity group which included 44 products. It averaged a 2.2 bu/ac advantage across 4 testing regions. Additionally, DSR-1290E, DSR-1450E and DSR-2040E each finished in the top 25.

A note about 111+ day corn and 2.1+ soybeans

FIRST tests in more than 30 regions across the Midwest and Delmarva. To be included in their overall top 30 report, corn products needed to be tested in at least 3 regions with 5 or more locations each and soybean products in 3 regions with 4 or more locations each. Our 111+ day grain products and 8 of our 10 soybean entries over 2.1 maturity did not meet these criteria, having only been entered in 2 regions. You can find excellent results from many of these products by visiting the 2022 FIRST Grain Corn Harvest Reports or 2022 FIRST Soybean Harvest Reports pages.
