Proven performance in the field: Strong soybean yields across Nebraska

“This past weekend, we harvested two strong soybean plots in Mead and St. Paul, Nebraska,” says Greblunas. “These sites showed just how well Stine genetics hold up under different environments and maturities. It’s a testament to the research and placement work our agronomy team does year-round.”

Field results that tell a story

In Mead, early-maturity lines Stine 29EF02 and 28EJ82, harvested Oct. 10 with Region 5 Regional Sales Agronomist (RSA) Chad Kuehl, came in at 82.4 bu/ac and 80.5 bu/ac, respectively. Later maturities continued the trend, with 30EH23 yielding 83.4 bu/ac and 32EJ92 topping the plot at 85.2 bu/ac.

Two days later in St. Paul, early-maturity lines 24EH32 and 25EJ92, harvested with Region 35 RSA Rob McCarter and Independent Sales Representative (ISR) Clark Rathman, impressed with 83.1 bu/ac and 85.9 bu/ac, respectively. On the later side, 27EJ02 reached 86.2 bu/ac, and 29EF02 capped the day with 88.5 bu/ac.

“These are strong numbers across two very different growing regions,” says Greblunas. “When you can get that kind of consistency across soil types, maturities and management styles, it’s a sign of truly balanced genetics.”

Why it matters

For farmers, consistent yield performance isn’t just a number on a spreadsheet. It’s the difference between uncertainty and confidence when planning next year’s acres. The results from Nebraska reinforce the value of Stine’s Enlist E3^® soybean lineup. These genetics deliver across environments, paired with agronomic support that ensures they’re placed where they can truly shine.

“Anyone can look good in one plot,” Greblunas says. “What matters is repeatability. Our products perform again and again in different regions; that’s how our growers can make confident decisions for the future.”

The power of agronomy at Stine

Behind every strong plot result is a network of agronomists, RSAs and ISRs who collaborate to test, learn and share insights directly with growers.

“One thing I think is important to mention is that we plant our soybean Product Development Plots without seed treatment,” says Greblunas. “This allows our agronomy team to evaluate the varieties more purely, identify natural disease tolerances and see how they perform across a wide range of environments. It gives us a true picture of genetic strength.

“Our agronomy department plays a critical role in Stine’s success,” continues Greblunas. “We’re not just collecting yield data. We’re studying how products respond to stress, what management practices maximize ROI, and how to position each hybrid or variety for the best performance. That’s what gives our growers an edge.”
