21 Super Silage Hybrids If you raise corn silage, then planting one of SCI Super Silage Hybrids on your farm is a must! SCI s Super Silage Hybrids are heavily tested throughout the eastern Corn Belt and are bred to produce more tons per acre with higher digestibility, feed value, starch, and protein levels. SCI s Super Silage Hybrids have gone through an exhaustive testing process and are checked against leading industry standards for corn silage. Only hybrids with superior silage characteristics (tons, digestibility, feed value, starch, and protein), qualify as Super Silage Hybrids. Additionally, all of these hybrids have excellent yield potential, however, based on SCI s methodical silage testing procedures, these 16 hybrids also qualify as Super Silage Hybrids out of more than 50 elite corn lines SCI has on the market today. SCI s Super Silage Hybrids are quickly becoming the industry leader for corn silage!

25 Corn Replant Decision Seed Consultants promises to only sell the best quality seed corn backed with the Grower Profit Protection Replant Program, but often times this seed faces insects, flooding, unfavorable seedbeds, etc. You are then faced with the question, SHOULD I REPLANT? STEP 1: STEP 2: STEP 3: STEP 4: STEP 5: STEP 6: STEP 7: STEP 8: STEP 9: FINAL STEP: Determine the number of plants per 1/1000 acre at several sites in field Determine original planting date Determine likely replanting date Determine normal replant costs fuel, herbicide, insecticide, equipment, etc. Estimate normal yield and expected market price Estimate yield of existing corn (from chart) Deduct additional 5% for common gap size greater than 3 feet; if less than 3 feet, deduct 2% for uneven stand Calculate expected yield from existing corn Calculate expected yield if replanted (from chart) Evaluate the net gain from replanting against expenses incurred.

The trait provider has indicated EU trait stack approval for Roundup Ready 2 Xtend technology is in the final stage of approval and is expected but not guaranteed to be received in the near future. Accordingly, grain and certain by-products produced from soybeans with Roundup Ready 2 Xtend technology cannot enter commodity grain streams destined for unapproved locations, including the EU, until the applicable approval is granted. Growers who use Roundup Ready 2 Xtend technology are required to discuss trait acceptance and grain channeling policies with their local grain handler prior to delivery and should only deliver grain to an elevator that agrees grain and by-products will only be marketed in approved markets. Growers can refer to for updated information on import country approvals. Upon anticipated EU approval, DuPont Pioneer will provide to customers who purchased soybeans with Roundup Ready 2 Xtend technology information regarding ongoing Stewardship Requirements for the technology. As of this printing no dicamba herbicide product has been approved for commercial in-crop use with soybeans with Roundup Ready 2 Xtend technology. DO NOT APPLY DICAMBA HERBICIDE IN-CROP TO SOYBEANS WITH Roundup Ready 2 Xtend technology IN 2016 unless you use a dicamba herbicide product that is specifically labeled for that use in the location where you intend to make the application. While no in-crop use of dicamba is currently approved, some dicamba products may be labeled for weed control prior to planting a crop and subject to minimum plant back restrictions. IT IS A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL AND STATE LAW TO MAKE AN IN-CROP APPLICATION OF ANY DICAMBA HERBICIDE PRODUCT ON SOYBEANS WITH Roundup Ready 2 Xtend technology, OR ANY OTHER PESTICIDE APPLICATION, UNLESS THE PRODUCT LABELING SPECIFICALLY AUTHORIZES THE USE. Contact the U.S. EPA and your state pesticide regulatory agency with any questions about the approval status of dicamba herbicide products for in-crop use with soybeans with Roundup Ready 2 Xtend technology and follow all pesticide product labeling. ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW PESTICIDE LABEL DIRECTIONS. Soybeans with Roundup Ready 2 Xtend technology contain genes that confer tolerance to glyphosate and dicamba. Glyphosate herbicides will kill crops that are not tolerant to glyphosate. Dicamba will kill crops that are not tolerant to dicamba.

49 Soybean Planting Rate Recommendation Soybean planting rates are directly related to several factors: TREATED VS. UNTREATED SEED: add 10% to seeding rate for untreated seed. PLANTING DATE: add 10% to seeding rate for seed planted prior to April 25th, and 10% to seeding rate for seed planted after May 20th. CONVENTIONAL VS. NO-TILL: add 10% to seeding rate for no-till. SOIL TYPE: add 10% to seeding rate for lower organic matter soils and tighter clay soils.

50 Seed Consultants, Inc. Bulk Soybean Bin Program SCI began the bulk soybean bin program for several reasons. For starters, pro boxes cost $700+ each. This price translates to more than $14/unit of soybeans stored, assuming 50 units per box. (Actually $17/unit if there are only 40 units per box.) Pro boxes must be returned, cleaned and nested. And growers must provide a covered structure for storage, unload, and load boxes. The pro boxes eat up growers storage space (equipment must be moved outside or to other buildings). Growers are also liable for damages to pro boxes. An even bigger headache can be bulk bags. The benefits of bulk soybean bins stack up. SCI currently has more than 150 bulk soybean bins on customers farms. The majority are 521- bushel GSI bins with bean ladders. We are pleased with the bulk bin program, but believe many growers are missing out on the benefits. HOW CAN YOU PARTICIPATE? Contact your area seedsman and sign an agreement. Pour a pad Order beans, minimum 400 units/variety/bin Order early and take early delivery SCI provides the bin at no charge THE TOP REASONS TO GO BULK BINS! SAFETY Bins eliminate the need to climb in and out of seed tenders and seed wagons, untying bulk bags. Bins also eliminate the risk of straps tearing or bags teetering over. You cannot put a value on injury to a family member or yourself. CONVENIENCE You can set the conveyor, pull under, turn on conveyor, open the bin door, and fill your seed tender. LABOR SAVING One person can unload bins and fill seed tenders with little effort. Bulk bags, on the other hand, require at least two workers. Bulk bag pallets must also be returned and bags disposed of, and pro boxes must be nested for return, stored, and loaded. COST EFFECTIVE The bins eliminate the need for additional storage buildings by growers, reduces manpower requirements at planting and the conveyor can also be used for other loading/unloading chores. 50
