PROSPECT, TENNESSEE | I like Asgrow beans, also, Pioneer beans. I have found one of each brand that works great here. I am looking at several new varities here this year, the RR's from Asgrow, and the "T" from Pioneer.
I will say this..... Asgrow's quality is getting worse each year. I started planting Pioneer beans, I planted almost three hundred acres before making a major maturity group change, so I removed the plates to clean the brushes. There was hardley any splits, hulls, etc. I set in with the Asgrows, I cleaned the brushes the first day, my monitor was steadily showing pop. loss, sure enoudh the brushes were packed with splits. For the rest of the year we greased each morning and cleaned brushes till we changed back to Pioneer then the problem went away.
Pioneers germination has been 85 to 90%, Asgrows have been...80%. | |
