Providing growers with insight into future products and information to help them increase yields today is the focus of Legend Seeds' Knowledge Plots. These showcase plots are not used for our data collection, and we encourage visitors to walk through, pull out, dig up and learn from these crops.

We know not everyone is able to make it to see our plots in person. Here are some of the highlights of tips and topics covered.

1. Tried and true local field management practices were a focus of the 2016 Knowledge Plots. We discussed the local best field practices everything from planting depth and population, down pressure and planter settings to precision planting, in furrow fertilizer and insecticide applications.
2. We continue to identify elite genetics, traits and technologies. With so many new seed technologies, soybean and corn platforms on the horizon, a clear understanding of what is available is key to making the right seed and trait package decisions for your farming practices and field challenges. The germ plasm world changes quickly. Legend Seeds remains dedicated to researching products and aggressive in deploying the best quickly if we see a fit and need.
3. Precision planting experts talked with growers about options available and answered questions. Although we don't sell precision planting products, Legend Seeds maintains strong working relationships with experts throughout all avenues of the industry so we can help our growers achieve maximum yield.
4. Sunflowers and alfalfa were part of the conversation. Legend Seeds relationship with NuSeed continues to be a strong one, connecting our growers with elite hybrids. Legend deployed a new line of alfalfa products including: HarvXtra, a Roundup Ready, reduced lignin line which is proven to improve overall animal health; Leyenda, an amazing conventional hybrid which is resistant to diseases and produces high quality forage and ToughMax II, a salt-tolerant variety which is overall an exceptional performer.
5. Soybean seed treatments made available to Legend Seeds growers in 2017 will include YP Pro, a customized line of seed treatment which has been designed specifically for Legend Seeds and encourages early-season plant vigor, emergence and season-long disease resistance as well as exceptional root development.
   In-field studies demonstrated a vast improvement in plant health over untreated soybeans and equal performance with other brands.
