Corn Testimonial

Dryland Corn and Wheat Results with Lot 125®

Darwin Jeffers of Phillips County, Colorado, incorporated BioLynceus® Lot 125® into his dryland farming program to support soil health and crop production.

In 2010, Jeffers applied Lot 125® to former Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) ground that had been returned to production and planted with dryland corn.

The following year, he also used Lot 125® on his 2011 dryland wheat crop.

Dryland Corn Yield and Profitability

The dryland corn produced approximately 82 bushels per acre.

According to the grower, the crop generated approximately $311 per acre in profit after expenses.

The strong crop performance also earned Jeffers recognition as the 2011 Corn King at the Haxtun Corn Festival.

Dryland Wheat Performance

Jeffers also reported strong results from his dryland wheat crop.

The wheat produced approximately 52 bushels per acre, while his lowest-yielding field still produced approximately 35 bushels per acre despite hail damage.

Supporting Dryland Crop Production

The results reported by Jeffers demonstrate how Lot 125® was incorporated into a dryland crop-management program for both corn and wheat.

BioLynceus® Lot 125® is designed to support:

  • Soil biological activity

  • Root-zone development

  • Nutrient availability

  • Soil structure

  • Water-use efficiency

  • Overall crop productivity

The yield and profitability figures above reflect the experience of this individual grower and may vary depending on weather, soil conditions, crop variety, fertility, irrigation, and management practices.

"There's no doubt in my mind that Lot 125® had a lot to do with it. I'm putting it on everything next year!"
