Golden Harvest Strengthens Its Roots
Golden Harvest continues to deliver leading genetics, agronomy insights and service to farmers across the Corn Belt.
With company roots dating back to 1853, Golden Harvest® continues to deliver leading genetics, agronomy insights and service to farmers across the Corn Belt. As a result of an incremental $400 million, five-year investment in seed at Syngenta, Golden Harvest Seed Advisors and farmers can look forward to a larger research team, more plant trialing efforts and increased agronomy field support.
Genetic Gains “Golden Harvest is dedicated to offering farmers a choice in high-yielding hybrids that perform no matter the soil type, weather conditions or pest pressures,” says Chad Stone, head of Golden Harvest East. “Looking ahead, a more robust research team will drive products to market faster than ever before.”
Farmers will benefit from a 58 percent increase in the introduction of new chassis or genetic combinations—expanding the number of new products delivered per year from 19 to 30.
“Additionally, trialing efforts, which help improve agronomic product placement, will grow by 33 percent, resulting in hybrids and varieties that perform even better in local growing environments,” says Clayton Becker, head of Golden Harvest West.
Not only do the Golden Harvest hybrids and varieties start the season strong, Sanken, notes, but they’re also standing tall and yielding big come harvest, regardless of unwelcome conditions that might occur throughout the season. “Golden Harvest corn and soybeans have excellent standability, despite the elements Mother Nature throws at us,” Sanken says. “We’ve seen the soybeans hold up great in the face of white mold and soybean cyst nematode pressures. We also have a lot of corn insect traits to work with, resulting from Golden Harvest continuing its research and development advancements.”
“One great aspect of this technology is that doubled-haploid technology is natural,” Iglesias says. “We were able to take this process from nature and use it as a tool to work in our favor. There is absolutely no genetic modification in this whole process.”
Greater Support
Agronomy and service are at the core of the Golden Harvest brand. In-depth agronomic knowledge is available to farmers all season long. And with expanding agronomist staffing, Golden Harvest Seed Advisor training and digital tools, farmers will have access to more personalized field recommendations and local, real-time data.
“We’re increasing trialing at the local level and leveraging digital, real-time ag capabilities to improve product placement,” Schlake says. “Correctly placing hybrids and varieties in the field is one of the single, most important steps farmers can take to get the growing season off to a solid start.”
Greater data transparency will provide an increased understanding of how seed genetics, soil types and management practices can make a yield difference on individual farms.
“When we equip farmers with the right seed and local agronomic knowledge, we can help them unlock the genetic yield potential of their crops to maximize yield and return on investment in every field,” Schlake says.
