GJ Chemical Toured The Plots In Altona; Arnaud

Last week GJ Chemical had plot tours in Altona and Arnaud, showing growers several trials and varieties. The Arnaud tour on took place on Friday had about 30 soybean and a dozen corn trials.
 
Brent Manning, manager of the Arnaud location, says the plots had a challenging year in terms of weather, but varieties have still done well.
 
"We kind of [thought] the plot was ruined because there was a drain running through it, but actually, when you look at the aerial photo, guys looking at it will see it coming through in the yield," he says. "There's quite a few — I would say a handful — of varieties that really show in that drain, that didn't die off. They still managed to produce some beans, and I still think yield they'll fairly decently."
 
He also says they had some seed treatment trials this year, planting some varieties into cooler soils.
