There’s a couple reasons I would recommend Seed Plus Graphite. First, yield response I’ve seen from it. Overall yield response has been good The other reason I would recommend it is just the price point and the performance guarantee that Verdesian offers really takes away the stress, the risk for a grower to put that product on his field.

It singulated well compared to other products that we’ve tried. The planter that we used is a 48 row corn planter, and so it has to blow that corn seed quite a long way, 60 feet each way. Seed Plus traveled well down those tubes, 60 feet each way, singulated just as good as anything else. And the emergence and jumpstart it had, you could visually see, and net six bushel at the end, obviously is the icing on the cake there.

One of my growers I went out in the field with, just by a month before harvest and we dug some roots and we saw a pretty big difference, very visible to the naked eye. The difference and the root size with Seed Plus Graphite. And we also did a yield check at that point and saw a good advantage there too.

They’ll use it next year. I don’t foresee anybody who ran it this year, not using it next year. And I think our sales will continue to grow and we’ve taken this product and put it in the hands of our seed team who solely focuses on our lineup of seed that we sell our treatments that we work with.

I decided to give it a try because I heard at the rate of return for it was very good. So, even if you consider I had a couple of bushel yield increase over my previous couple of years, even if one bushel, you’re looking at a 4:1 rate of return right there due to the SEED+ Graphite.

Growers love how the seed goes through their planter, that they didn’t have to worry about that process of getting their seed coated. They had no planting issues as far as breaking of the seeds and the lubrication of the planter, cause the product did a great job. They loved that product.

Most of the Seed Plus Graphite I sold in this prior year was on soybeans that we had treated and we treat probably close to 98% of the units that we sell. And of that 98%, I think we treated 100% of ’em with SEED+ Graphite. They like that they don’t have to deal with the talc or the graphite. It’s already on the seed. All they do is take their seed, put it in the planter and start planting.

The one thing I have seen is this colder weather, colder, wet soils. You seem to get a better stand. And uniform stand and getting even emergence and anything you can do to help that out. It’s a win-win scenario.
