For Bob Shands, Agronomy salesman for Co-Alliance the technology found in Asgrow Genuity RR2Y soybeans is something farmers in his marketing area are embracing. And Shands says when you see beans like those at the Summers Farm in Boone County Indiana it’s easy to see why. “What you notice immediately is the number of beans in a cluster, and most of the them are 3’s and 4’s,” said Shands.

For Justin Summers of Boone County Indiana, one of the first things he noticed when he walked in to a field of Asgrow Genuity RR2Y soybeans was the number of pods, and how good the beans looked. Justin says because of the trust they put in their agronomist, about a third of the soybean acres were planted to Asgrow Genuity RR2Y soybean this year. The younger Summers says he really going to be interested to see what the yield monitor shows once harvest gets underway, he’s hoping it will put a smile on his face.

Eric McClaskey, seed salesman for Co-Alliance at Russellville, Indiana says his customers have been talking about Asgrow Genuity RR2Y soybeans from the time they emerged. He says the early season vigor and heavy podding have also been impressive here in 2010. Eric was with Keith Willett when the Montgomery County Indiana soybean farmer found a 5-Bean Pod, which he describes as “like finding mushrooms.”

For Keith Willett of Ladoga, Indiana, his Asgrow Genuity RR2Y soybeans yielded 1 to 3 bushels better than his other beans last year, and while those additional bushels are nice, Willett says he’s looking for consistency. His Asgrow Genuity 2430s are yielding between 45 and 50 bushels per acre, and for growing season they had, Keith Willet says he’s happy with that.

Jerry DeVore, marketing lead for Asgrow, has high expectations for soybean yields this year. DeVore believes the five bean pod challenge will ultimately lead to higher yields by combining Asgrow genetics with the Round Up Ready traits. Through all of his travels across Indiana, DeVore says he has discovered with Genuity there is an increase in three bean pods and four bean pods which is exactly what producers are looking for. By bringing higher yield potential to farmers, producers will be able to meet the growing food demands by 2030 according to DeVore.
