Is multi-hybrid planting in your future?

If variability in your fields is costing you bushels and dollars at harvest time, then multi-hybrid planting—placing specific hybrids at optimum zones in the field—may be part of the solution.

Keaton Krueger is an ag technology specialist with Winfield.  He’s been working with Iowa-based SciMax Solutions this spring on a multi-hybrid planting project.  They’ve used variable rate mapping from Winfield’s R7 Tool and a specially designed multi-hybrid planter purchased through the partnership to plant more than 1,000 acres of corn in north-central Iowa.

Krueger says multi-hybrid planting takes precision farming to a whole new level.
