A seed sales representative says he’s noticed some regional and national trends for seed purchases heading into the 2022 growing season.
Brian Hackbarth sells LG Seeds in northeastern Wisconsin and upper Michigan. He tells Brownfield, “Industry-wise, there’s more beans going in than there is corn.”
Hackbarth says his farmer clients are trying to cut input costs and take advantage of the higher soybean prices.
Hackbarth says many in the industry didn’t anticipate this much demand for soybeans, and he says a lot of farmers are getting away from Xtend and Xtend Flex and moving to E3 soybeans this year.
