Plenty of Good Quality USG Soybeans Available!

There may be poor quality beans in some areas due to the weather but the good news is USG does have plenty of good quality seed! Our USG 74B58 harvested 90 Bu/Ac. in VA! Our East Coast production looks good and will supply our mid-south dealers with USG Seed. USG soybeans are grown in several states and that is part of the value-providing system that USG has strategically implemented in the seed production process to insure quality seed to our growers.
We are starting to get some yield results back. Only one so far but we will post the rest just as soon as they become available.

Farmers should make a skin check a priority

Farming has plenty of challenges, but probably one of the hazards that farmers worry about the least are the dangers from working in the sun year-round. As the harvest concludes and winter sets in, farmers should pay attention to the condition of their skin.

"More than 11,000 Americans die each year from skin cancer," says Dr. David M. Pariser, a dermatologist and president of the American Academy of Dermatology. "But when detected early, skin cancer has a cure rate of 99 percent. Since research shows farmers are among the least likely workers to receive a skin examination by a physician, it's important that farmers perform regular skin self-examinations, which could mean the difference between life and death."

Wheat Test Results are In!

When we get small grain test data in we will post it to the Test Results page under the state the test was in. Some results are preliminary and may change. So far, all tests except for Alabama and South Carolina are here. USG 3555 is having a great year with wins in Texas, Pennsylvania, and Delaware.

New USG Wheat Varieties available

USG has 2 new wheat varieties that will be available this fall. USG 3770 and USG 3725. USG 3725 is an east coast variety that is early maturing with a great disease package. USG 3770 is a medium early variety that has shown good resistance to scab this year and is best suited for the mid-south.
Due to the worst scab outbreak since 1991, we expect a minor seed shortage in the Mississippi Delta area of TN, AR, MS, and MO. Here is a release from the University of Kentucky that outlines the scab problem this year with some good helpful info.
Be sure to talk to your USG dealer early to book your wheat seed.

USG Fields another Yield Contest Winner!

Chuck McGhee of Mechanicsville, VA placed first in the 2008 Virginia Soybean Contest. His full-season, non-irrigated USG 74A45's from Renwood Farms yielded 85.7 bushels per acre. He is the same grower who placed first in the 2008 Virginia Wheat Contest with USG 3665 from Renwood Farms.
“USG soybeans perform as good as or better than the competitors that we grow. USG puts out good products that fit our area well and produce well on our soils,” Chuck McGhee.

Two Records in the same field!

Jerry Fuller of Marvell, AR cut 200 acres of USG 74E88 that averaged 94.5 bushels per acre. The field was planted on May 27th with a population of 120,000 plants. They were planted on twin 7.5" rows 38" apart. The seed was treated with ApronMaxx, Cruiser, and Percplus.

74E88 is a new group 4 maturity bean that has excellent yield potential. It is a stacked bean with STS and RR resistance. The bean carries the C Phytophthora Gene and has good SDS tolerance. The seed was purchased from Fuller Seed in Poplar Grove, AR.
