Corn
Let's take a look at the numbers.
78,168: The number of replicated corn trials our L.E.A.P. team has conducted since 2014.
57: Plot locations across seven states where our trials were conducted over the past five growing seasons. These locations give us a chance to test the same hybrids in a variety of growing environments.
19: In the last four years, an average of 19 new hybrids per year made it into our elite lineup from the rigorous testing of Legend Seed’s L.E.A.P. program and our genetic providers.
3: Number of years a new hybrid is generally tested before it debuts in our elite corn lineup, giving us a tremendous amount of insight into a hybrid before it ever becomes a product.
1: Number of regional, independent seed companies that can offer this scale of localized, replicated corn research to bring the best products to your acres.

Respect the Rotation is an initiative to elevate the importance and grower adoption of herbicide diversity to prevent or manage weed resistance. Glyphosate weed resistance is a dominating threat throughout the United States that affects land values, rental agreements, conservation tillage and can greatly reduce yields. The use of Integrated Weed Management practices, such as use of residuals, pre-emergence herbicides and rotation of crops, traits and herbicides, is critical as no one method is likely to be completely successful.
