Comprehensive listings of hybrids and varieties in the 2022 FIRST trials are available at the links below. Seed products are listed in a searchable, and sortable table.
Seeds that were tested in prior years each have a link ⇗ to a complete per-product results report. See all product results from 2019-2021 in the Seed Product Search.

More information on testing procedures, measurements, and reporting are available at these links: Corn Grain Soybeans Corn Silage
FIRST trials are arranged in regions of several contiguous counties, with 5-6 plot locations for corn grain and 4 locations for soybeans and corn silage that are representative of the area. Each seed entered in the region is tested at all locations in order to provide 18-20 small plot observations in the entire region.
FIRST encourages you to use the Region Summary Reports published after all locations are harvested to evaluate the best performances across a range of locations and environments.
Region test plans with the number of entries and maturity range are listed below.
