Proving the impact of a decade of industry-leading genetic gain, NK® corn outperformed competitors across the U.S. For example, NK0472-5122 E-Z Refuge® brand outyielded Pioneer® hybrids by an average of 16.5 bushels per acre (bu/A) in 22 Iowa comparisons.

“Growing seasons like we saw in 2019 drive NK breeders to develop corn and soybean seeds that can deliver value regardless of Mother Nature. Those efforts are paying off for farmers.”

NK soybeans, meanwhile, continued to build on a reputation of consistently strong yields. With more than 50 years of advanced soybean breeding focused on delivering the best genetics with strong defensive traits, NK generated results that included a 5.2 bu/A advantage for S28-E3 brand over Asgrow® varieties in 45 Nebraska comparisons.

“Growing seasons like we saw in 2019 drive NK breeders to develop corn and soybean seeds that can deliver value regardless of Mother Nature,” says Jim Shertzer, head of NK marketing. “Those efforts are paying off for farmers.”
