This is Bill Cook, and it’s July 2nd. We’re working on West Central Cereal Grains IP LLC. That’s one of the Stutzman’s tractors coming in, hauling dirt from the other side of the bean fields bringing it up. We’re doing the filler dirt. Over here is Mr. Ortini leveling this bed up. We have Kyle Stutsman running the loader and …

This is Bill Cook, and I’m in Mr. Krause’s plots. This is one of our smart plant locations up in Concordia. So… we’re not too far from harvest, and these beans look really good. They’ve been really dry this year, but we still have a lot of opportunity. We thought this plot would be over 80 bushel, one of the Smart …

Hi, I’m Kellen Bounous, with big yield, today is September 17th and we’re going to be looking at some corn today that a farmer here in the Garden City area planted. He was set up with John Deere planter, 20, 36 row, with a 30,000 seed population. Franklin Weaver here is going to talk a little bit about the program …

One of the things we do a LOT of over here at BigYield.us is show people what we’re growing in our Research Plots. It doesn’t matter whether we’re showing them our 100 Bushel Soybeans, our 300 Bushel Corn, or our 100 Bushel Wheat… correction, our 164 Bushel Wheat, which by the way, you can read all about by downloading our …

Managing your soybean plant from it’s infancy all the way through it’s reproductive stage will ensure a high soybean yield. This is about the time of the season where your beans are growing nicely and setting pods. In the past, the temptation of growers has been to sit back and relax while waiting for the harvest. Often times, the latter …

As farmers we try to do everything possible to see our crops succeed.  We take care in choosing the right seed, soil and chemical treatments.  However, no matter how much we do to try and ensure success there are always factors that we cannot control. Drought is one of those factors.  Here at Big Yield we are working to change …

When Soy-100 is applied directly to plants, it is immediately soaked into the plant.  Once the product is deep inside the plant, the sugar content of the plant rises.  If you are skeptical, go pour a sugary beverage on a patch of grass in your front lawn. Check back on the spot in one week and you will understand exactly …

Hello, this is Dean Alexander with Alexander Farms. I want to show you a comparison today of what we’ve used for starter fertilizer this year. This is our first year using it.
