Hover over question to see answer:

Are different products tested at each site in a region?

Where can I find a list of ALL products included in F.I.R.S.T. tests?

How many replications are at each site, and across a region?  Why is this important?

Does F.I.R.S.T. use small plots?

My seed company has said small plots do not provide true yield results.  Why does F.I.R.S.T. use small plot research?

What is Gross Income, and how should I use this information?

How does F.I.R.S.T. determine the Top 30 corn products?

Why do corn brands with yields great than those in the Top 30 not make the list?

Why are only the Top 30 products shown in your data tables?

What parameters are considered in F.I.R.S.T. grain yield calculations?

Your grain shrinkage factor is much higher than what my grain elevator uses.  How is your factor derived?

What is that LSD (0.10) value in your tables?

In your corn data tables, why are the results occasionally italicized?

My favorite seed company's products are not included in your tests.  Why is that?

What things can I learn by comparing the check hybrids between early and full season tests at each site and across the region?

I'm interested in yields of test plots that are close to me.  Why should I look at performance across multiple sites?
