Soybean harvest in Taylor getting underway!

1808R2's were available in limited supply for this planting season.  So far I have been impressed with their aggressive early growth, superior disease tolerance, and large seed size.  The pictures are from a ridge soil above Rockland.  After defoliation the beans stand waist high.  This variety will be available in full supply for the 2016 planting season.

I picked one representative ear from each variety in the Tomah Channel corn plot.  This is an amazing plot that I expect will average well over 200 bushels per acre.  The 92-96 day hybrids were black layered.  The 97 day hybrids should be by weeks end. Varieties are from left to right 197-68, 197-50, 196-77, P9644, 195-58, 194-14, 192-09.

My favorite 92 day hybrid 192-09VT3P looking great and beginning to black layer.  Along with my favorite tractor, Dad's 4020 also looking great!

202-64 a very tall 102 day hybrid offers unmatched silage yield for its maturity.  This product has a long flex ear that maintains high grain yield at 35-37k plant populations.  The plant health and the hybrids ability to maintain proper harvest moisture for a long period of time makes it very forgiving during long harvest seasons.  If you are growing corn for silage this is a must plant!

This field of Todd Olson's in Taylor has been featured on the blog many times this season.  It's a great look at the progression of this great hybrid 197-66VT2P.

203-44, 103 day with great late season plant health to allow a larger harvest window.

208-49STX a 108 day dual purpose silage hybrid on sandy soil.
