Innovative agricultural solutions to boost your crop productivity and maximize profits — built on proven genetics and strong agronomy, not guesswork.
Seed company data tells you what a hybrid is capable of. Our plots tell you what it does here — on Illinois soils, in your rotation, with the weather we actually got.
That’s why every season we plant a side-by-side research program across our customer territory. Same row spacing. Same population. Same management. Different genetics, different tillage, different programs — so when the combine runs, the bushels speak for themselves.
Every variety is tested twice — once under ProvenYield, once under HigherYield. The yield gap is the answer.
At the Monk Farm, every variety runs in mirrored blocks under both programs. Customers see what their current program produces — and what’s possible when they add the next layer.
The fundamentals — done right, every acre.
Layered on top of ProvenYield to capture the next bushel.
12 dedicated research blocks — comparing ProvenYield and HigherYield management programs on each seed variety, StripTill vs ConvTill, and Stine’s J and K series soybeans.
Every block is GPS-recorded across two adjacent fields — Section S169 in corn, Section N160 in soybeans.
20 additional Stine entries — including a Victrato seed-treatment trial.
HigherYield isn't a single product — it's how everything else on this site works together. The right genetics, protected from day one, growing in soil you actually understand, backed by practices tested right here in our own plots. Each pillar below links to where you can dig into the details.
Start with hybrids and varieties that have already proven themselves — not just on paper, but in local plots.
A strong stand starts below ground. Our seed treatment lineup guards against early-season disease, insects, and nematodes before they cost you yield.
Fertility decisions are only as good as the data behind them. Soil testing tells you what your fields actually need — not a guess.
Cover crops protect and build the soil that next year's crop depends on — better structure, more organic matter, less erosion.
Our on-farm research program puts products and practices to the test in our own local plots, so recommendations are based on how they perform here — not somewhere else.
Your AgTech Advantage team member can walk through genetics, seed treatment, soil testing, cover crops, and our local research results — all matched to your ground.
