Outstanding Performance in 2021 Independent Trials
BY Dairyland Seed
From the Dakotas to Indiana and Michigan, we entered our new and key corn, soybean, and silage products into university trials and Farmers’ Independent Research of Seed Technologies (F.I.R.S.T.) trials to learn more about how our products perform across geographies and against the competition. And as the numbers show, Dairyland Seed rose to the top once again in 2021.
