Helping area farmers make
the most informed decisions
for their farming operation
is a service that the NEW
Cooperative agronomy
department does not take
lightly. We continually strive
to find new ways of helping
you make the best input
purchases. One such way is
through our 11 soybean and
10 corn replicated test plots
placed throughout the NEW
Cooperative service area.
These plots include today’s
most genetically advanced
hybrids and varieties from
our extensive list of corn and
soybean seed companies.
The ability to view and
compare these hybrids and
varieties locally throughout
the service area means you
are better able to know their
performance in your own
fields and choose the best
seed inputs for your operation.
NEW Cooperative replicated
test plots are located near
the following towns. Please
be sure to attend plot days in
the fall at one of the following
near you to make the most
of this additional service to
agronomy customers.

THE RIGHT SEEDNEW Cooperative agronomists take pride in helping farmers manage risk in their business by selecting varieties that fit their operation. It is well known that the seeds we plant hold more potential in the bag than after we put it in the ground. It is important to place varieties in the correct environments to maximize this potential and reduce stress that can reduce yields. Talk to your agronomist about selecting the proper variety mix to maximize the potential on your acres. They can help you decide when to select an offensive variety to chase yield and when to select a defensive variety to protect yield.
CORN SEEDSELECTION
TIPS TO MAXIMIZE YIELD AND PROFITIBILITYWhen picking varieties, yield is important, but make sure and consider some of the following information to help maximize yield potential:
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENTGetting off on the right foot – Equipment is increasing our productivity allowing us to cover more acres per day, but it is still the small adjustments that can make the biggest differences in our bottom line. Knowing which varieties have the best emergence in cool soils is important to getting good stand counts on your first planted fields. Also putting together a field by field plan before planting to spread out maturities at harvest can lead to optimum harvest moisture and increased stalk quality.
NITROGEN MANAGEMENTSide-dress – There are many options today to make in-season applications of Nitrogen throughout the growing season (Side-dress UAN, Broadcast Urea, and Y-drop UAN). Knowing which hybrids have a higher response to nitrogen can help manage hybrid selection, placement, and management throughout the year.
POPULATION MANAGEMENTVariable Rate – Today’s equipment is changing the art of planting seed. Hydraulic and electric motors have replaced many chain-driven seeding systems. To utilize that equipment, it is important to know which hybrids will respond to increases or decreases in planting population that help you maximize yields and profitability.
CORN ON CORN MANAGEMENT
Disease Triangle – Anytime you plant a crop back to back, diseases carrying over in residue will always be problematic. Timely tillage can be an important factor in helping reduce the issue, but more importantly knowing which hybrids are more defensive against many of the common diseases that infect our fields will help improve plant health and standability in the fall.
PEST MANAGEMENTIn-season Applications – New methods to scout your fields throughout the spring and summer can play a huge roll in catching issues before they become problems. Satellite imagery, crop modeling, and drone imagery have made being able to react to insect or disease pressures that threaten yield faster with today’s technology. Knowing the level of susceptibility to pests can make the decision to treat with fungicides or insecticides easier.

New Hybrid Preliminary positioning statement Fixed ear hybrids will still flex at lower populations but not as much as the Flex Ear Hybrids. Fixed ear hybrids respond more to high plant populations. Environmental conditions will dictate ear size. "Bolded Products" are the the best choices in a category, products not bolded are good choices. The highest volume version is generally listed. Isolines will perform similarly from an agronomic aspect.Individual results will vary. Seed product performance may vary from location to location and from year to year. Growers should evaluate data from mulitple locations and years whenever possible.DEKALB® and the Winged Ear Design are trademarks of DeKalb Genetics Corporation.

LEVEL PLANTER By placing a level on the tool bar you can easily check if it is horizontally aligned. If you notice that the unit is either hanging back- or forwards, you need to lift or lower the hook-up to the tractor. This is essential to get accurate seed depth placement.
PLANTER UNIT ALIGNMENT Look across your planter units from the side. Are they all at the same height? If one unit is either up or down compared to the others, it needs some work. A common problem is that some bolts are loose. You should not be able to easily lift up your unit.
DIAMETER OF SEED OPENER DISKS Check operator manual to determine acceptable disk diameter. Stick two business cards between the openers and move them as close together as possible. The space between them should be 3” or more, depending on your planter type. If opener disks are worn too much you will get a “W” shaped seed slot instead of the desired “V” slot.
DIAMETER OF COULTERS Check the diameter of the coulters and replace them if needed. You should adjust the depth of coulters that are still usable.
PRESSURE ON FIRMING WHEELS Check the pressure on the firming wheels. The downward pressure should be adequate, but not too high (check operator manual).
DEPTH WHEELS Depth wheels tight. Change washers from in- to outside (or vice versa) of depth wheel if necessary.
DEPTH OF SEED PLACEMENT Place the planter on a concrete floor to measure the difference between the bottom of the depth wheels and slot opener and adjust it to the desired depth. The front coulter should be set the appropriate depth (no deeper than the seed slot openers).
ALIGNMENT OF INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS Take a rope and pull it straight from the front coulter to the back press wheels. The firming wheels, slot openers and coulters should all be in line.
WEAR ON CHAINS AND SPROCKETS Check the chains that drive meters and their sprockets. If they are worn too much they need to be replaced. Excessive wearing of these parts will cause skips and doubles.
CLEAN METERING UNITS Take metering units apart. Remove dirt and clean the hood with soapy water (no kerosene diesel or oil should ever be used in metering units). Check for broken filters in a finger-pickup meter, check the brush that wipes off excess seeds and see if a groove has formed in the chromium house of the metering unit. If the groove becomes large and if brushes wear, you have a greater likelihood of doubles. Brushes need to be replaced at least every other year.
ELEVATOR BELT IN METERING UNIT The belt (in finger pick-up meters) should be flexible, not have cracks in it, and should be clean. Clean with soapy water and let it dry before putting it back in. Put the metering unit back together. The rubber belt should be placed back in the right direction or your meter will malfunction. You can lubricate with graphite (NO OIL or WD40).
CALIBRATE METER It is highly recommended to take your finger pick-up metering unit to the dealer to have it calibrated. Take a bag of your own seed with you and give him the correct speed at which you will be driving.
VACUUM/AIR UNITS If vacuum or air meter, check for leaks and appropriate vacuum or air pressure.

BEAN SEEDSELECTIONTHE RIGHT SEEDNEW Cooperative agronomists understand the benefits of using an offensive soybean to maximize yields and using a defensive soybean to protect yields. Selecting and planting the correct bean on the appropriate acre is important to unlock yield potential on your farms. A lot of people have thought of soybeans as a bridge crop between years of corn, but don’t let that deter you from doing a few little adjustments to try and take your soybean yields to the next level. Your local agronomist can help you make the necessary changes to capture yield that may be slipping through the cracks.
TIPS TO MAXIMIZE YIELD AND PROFITIBILITYWhen picking varieties, soybeans may take more planning and placement to maximize yield potential. Consider some of the following information when making selections for your fields:
TREATMENT OPTIONS
Protection – Seed treatments have changed a lot over the last few years. Beyond the basic fungicide and insecticide treatments like Accelleron, Poncho/Votivo, Cruiser, and Warden CZ, products such as Ilevo for protection against Sudden Death Syndrome, Clariva for help against cyst, and Signum which inoculates the soil with Rhizobium bacteria have become big reasons we are able to have higher and more consistent soybean yields. Knowing your fields risk for SDS and knowing which fields were corn on corn for adding inoculant will maximize your yield potential out of the gate.
WEED MANAGEMENT
Control Options – More options exist today for controlling weeds than ever before, and it is important to know what is in your seed hoppers and know what is across the fence line. Roundup, Liberty, and Dicamba are all available today and with Enlist and Balance GT on the horizon, giving growers options to control weeds. Ask your agronomist which product may best fit your operations, and how to use each product to its full potential.
DISEASE MANAGEMENT
Placement is Key – Every year it seems like we battle a new disease or insect, but don’t forget about the ones that steal most of our yield. Sudden Death Syndrome and Iron Deficiency Chlorosis can be two of the biggest factors in selecting our soybean varieties. Knowing which fields have a history of pressure from these diseases and placing varieties appropriately, will help increase yields on tougher acres. Combine that management with in season fungicide and insecticide applications that have showed great returns on late season diseases and insects, will provide for a winning combination.
STANDABILITY MANAGEMENT
Standing Up – Increased yields have created some challenges such as more residues at harvest and reduced standability during the season. Some avenues do exist to help improve this issue. Selecting varieties that have a higher rating for standability is one option, but also planting early can help reduce the distance between nodes, resulting in shorter plants. Too high of planting rate can also result in lanky plants that are prone to falling over. Lastly don’t forget beans need good fertility too. Potassium, Sulfur, and an optimum pH will help improve your plants standability and harvestability.

FUNGICIDESCONTROLLING DISEASES & IMPROVING PLANT HEALTHThe debate on fungicide use seems to be an ongoing conversation. There
have been some large yield responses that are raising interest levels from
our customers on both corn and soybeans. Let’s discuss a few ways to
maximize the chance of higher returns on a fungicide application.
When you are selecting varieties for your farms keep in mind that every
variety has a weakness and there are no silver bullets. But just because a
hybrid is weak in one area, doesn’t mean it is not the best choice. Where
one variety might be weak on Northern Corn Leaf Blight, another may be
weak on Gray Leaf Spot. Make note of weaknesses in stalk or diseases
especially if you are in a corn on corn rotation. Some of our largest returns
are in continuous corn environments where the risk of disease infection is
higher. Ask your NEW Cooperative agronomist to help you make a priority
list and target your highest risk fields first.
Besides the obvious disease control fungicide offers, other benefits have
been noticed by growers and agronomists. Fungicides have proven to
improve overall plant health which includes stalk integrity at harvest. It is
hard to place an exact value to the ability to combining standing corn,
but being able to cover more acres per day and not having to run the
snoots on the ground hold some significance.
During the season keep the Disease Triangle in mind. Environment, Host,
and Disease inoculum all need to be present to have an infection in or on
the plant. The host is the corn or soybean plant. The disease inoculum is
more likely present in continuous corn, but inoculum of different diseases
can travel long distances during the growing season. The environment is
the most fluid of the three. High risk environment involves wet or humid
conditions. In years where we see heavy rainfall in the spring or during the
months of July and August, we observe higher diseases present in fields.
Not surprisingly this is when we also see the biggest responses in fungicide
applications.
Not all fungicides need to be applied at tassel. Making an in-furrow
application at planting can strengthen disease protection early in the
growing season especially in early or wet conditions. The V5 application
window allows for fungicides to be added to many herbicide programs. At
V5 it is still recommended that the grower also apply a tassel application.
Finally the tassel application is the most widely applied window. We
typically see our biggest yield responses when the corn is applied between
full tassel and brown silk. NEW Cooperative has many different products
available. Take some time to ask your local agronomist for the best
product to fit your operation.
APPLICATION
If you are not currently using fungicides,
talk to your agronomist about products
that may fit your operation. NEW
Cooperative offers many avenues for
applying fungicides. We offer aerial
application through plane or helicopter,
and we have high clearance sprayers to
assist in your ground application needs.
Later in the fall, we use these machines
to apply cover crops and do late season
herbicide applications. Contact your
local NEW Cooperative location about
these and other services we offer.
