NEW SEED OUTYIELDS BIN-RUN SEED A recent analysis of 266 university and independent third-party trials confirms that professionally grown soybeans usually outyields bin-run seed. New seed had a winning yield in 69 percent of the trials. The average yield advantage was 1.8 bushels per acre.
North Dakota State University issued a report last June stressing that the real costs of bin-run seed go far beyond the market price of soybean seed. “The hidden costs of cleaning, transportation, storage, interest, time and labor easily add dollars to the bin-run price tag,” the report said. “Farmers that bin-run seed year after year also lose on the latest genetic yield improvements, such as developments in Phytophthora root rot resistance.”
Also growers who use saved seed don’t qualify for replant benefits under Monsanto’s Roundup Rewards
program.
Wensink Farm Seeds has a “No Saved
Seed” Policy for any seed containing a patented trait—because the U.S. Supreme Court says, “It’s Against The Law.” It also disrupts a level playing field for all farmers.
Benefits of New Seed:
Convenience
- Highest quality and highest yield vs. bin-run
- Access to most elite germplasm
Economics of New Seed vs. Bin-Run seed
- Average loss of 10-15% cleanout at harvest for bin-run seed
- Bin Run planting rates are generally 15% higher than new certified seed.
Limited Warranty Benefits
- Risk Management benefits of Roundup RewardsŪ (over $500 million paid to growers since 1997)
New Innovations:
- Royalties provide research and development of new traits and higher yielding germplasm
- Seed companies and Monsanto are committed to our customer’s success
