In my region, NCIA, these are my choices: 36V52(102 day, 0448(104 day), 0528(105 day) and 34F06(110 day)
I planted 3 of the 4 this year. None of the PO528. 34F06 is a lttle full season for this part of the state. Had the Pioneer rep weigh it and it went 186 bushels at 14.6 moisture 3 weeks ago, but Producer's 6790 107 day conventional went 199 right next to it.
Got some more Pioneer ordered for next year but price after discounts is still $204 a bag on the 34F06 and $214 on the PO448! The Producer's, Agri Gold are in the $170 to $180 range.
Didn't get the other 2 numbers weighed but I'm guessing the 36V52 went just over 200 on heavier ground.
Conventional soybeans are about $55 after discounts.
