Stine: New seed genetics key to boosting yields in tight ag economy
Despite a challenging rural economy, the president of Stine Seed Company says growers shouldn’t pull back on investing in new genetics.
“The ag economy is not wonderful, but there’s hope out there,” Myron Stine said Tuesday.
Stine says the latest seed technology is worth the investment.
“When the commodity is low, that’s the most important time to make sure that extra 5% bump in yield is there.”
He says growers should work closely with seed reps on proper genetic placement.
“The days of just taking products and using them as a blanket product on your farm is gone. You need to be more precise to make sure you’re maximizing the profit on that acre.”
Stine spoke to Brownfield at the Iowa Ag Expo in Des Moines.
