My son became a dealer 3 years ago. First year I was half Merschman's. The other half was mostly Golden Harvest. We can do variety tracking with our combine. That year every place we had Merschman and Golden Harvest in the same field the side by side comparisons showed Merschman's beating the GH. I felt confident enough to switch to all Merschman's the next year. This year we did a show plot with 17 varieties of Merschman, 2 Golden Harvest, 2 Becks, 2 Dekalb and one Pioneer number. First six slots were Merschman. Becks finished in the bottom 5, Pioneer was in the bottom 5, Dekalb and GH finished in the middle after the top six Merschmans. My email is good if you want a copy of the plot. Also did a Liberty Link bean plot with 8 varieties. I didn't cut them and haven't seen the results but my son said two number went over 80 and the rest mid 70's. |
