The Harvest Chasers caught up with Boersma to gather some insight into what’s working well in his area. Two of his favorite recommendations are NK® Soybeans S20-T6 brand and Golden Harvest® hybrid G93H90 brand.

NK Soybeans S20-T6 brand is his highest selling soybean variety. He said customers really like it because “it’s a go anywhere variety.” He also mentioned that NK Soybeans S20-T6 brand has great standability, delivers consistent yields across different soil types and does a great job against white mold.

As for Golden Harvest Corn, among the hybrids he strongly recommends is Golden Harvest hybrid G93H90 brand because the hybrid is a drier corn that handles the region’s variable soil types well. Other notable products include Golden Harvest hybrid G99Z33 Artesian™ brand. Boersma said this water-optimized Agrisure Artesian® hybrid works well on most soil types in the area and delivers a very consistent yield. He also talked about NK Soybeans S13-H5 brand, which yielded nearly 70 bushels per acre in 2015. According to Boersma, those yields are better than anything he’s seen before by at least 5 bushels.
