HYBRID FAMILIES
FIELD GX GENETIC DIVERSITY SIMPLIFIED
Field GX™ is all about AgriGold’s unique GenetiX. Field GX™ has been created as the structure to categorize our genetic families. No matter the environment or practices used, you can choose AgriGold for all of your genetic needs. Field GX™ combines world-class genetics and your field. AgriGold classifies every one of its hybrids into genetic families based on its genetic background and agronomic characteristics. Knowing a hybrid’s genetic family helps simplify management, reduce risk and maximize results in your field.
New for 2024 we have partnered with Agrigold to offer our customers what we believe to be the best genetics on the market today. We have planted Agrigold on our home farm for many years and have seen the proven performance they deliver in each bag. Planting the same hybrids at home that we offer to our growers gives us an advantage over the competition because we get to see how hybrids perform over a hundred acres not over 100 feet. Having real in field experience allows us to make informed decisions about your unique situation.
Agrigold has been a staple in corn fields across the country for many years and that isn’t going away any time soon. The focus on using families instead of just maturity to distinguish between hybrids sets them apart in the field. A family is a group of hybrids that have similar plant health, flex potential, nitrogen use and soil adaptability. Being grouped into families allows us to better place hybrids once we know your situation and your goals. We understand that maturity is important that is why we have strong maturity selections in each family.

For 2024 Agrigold has a complete soybean line-up with 74 different varieties all matched with the highest performing traits and treatments available to AgriGold. These new options are raising the bar again for AgriGold soybeans so if you have the same high-performance expectations out of your soybean fields that you do from your corn fields, then it’s the right time to try AgriGold soybeans.
ROUNDUP READY 2 XTEND®
Roundup Ready® Xtend Crop System is an advanced weed management tool in the fight against resistant and tough-to-control broadleaf weeds in soybeans. With advanced dicamba and glyphosate-tolerant traits, the Roundup Ready® Xtend Crop System helps maximize weed control and the high yield potential and quality of Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® soybeans.
XTENDFLEX®
XtendFlex® soybeans are built on the Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® technology, so farmers can continue to count on the high-yielding performance they’ve come to expect at harvest. It features the additional tolerance to glufosinate in which farmers will be able to achieve the yield they want with the choice they need. XtendFlex® offers elite genetics with strong agronomic characteristics with herbicide-tolerance to dicamba, glyphosate and glufosinate.
ENLIST E3®
Enlist E3® soybeans offer some of the most advanced trait technology available in soybeans, providing a new option for weed control and yield performance. With Enlist E3® soybeans, the three herbicide tolerances: 2,4-D choline, glyphosate and glufosinate – combine to deliver a complete seed control system with the weed control options you demand.
Conventional
These non-gmo options give you the opertunity to acess the specitaty markets in your area and often times receive a premium for these varieties. In our local market Bluegrass Farms will accept these varieties and depending on which variety you choose some premiums are higher than others.
All of our soybeans will be treated in house. This gives you the flexibility to choose your treatment package and customize your experience. We will be offering top of the line fungicide and insecticide treatments. We will also have micronutrient over treatment and soil biology promoting additives. As we start to blant beans earlier in the season, we need to protect our seeds from the pathogens that thrive in cold damp soils.
We carry a full line of talc and graphite to meet the needs of any planter. for low speed planting we have 100% Graphite, 100% Talc, and 80-20. For high speed planting we have supra flo. THis is a new antistatic lubricant made by farm talc. When planting at high speeds seed release off of the plate is measured in nanoseconds. With any little hickup your spacing and singulation can diminish costing you yield. Many people do not put a lot of thought into their seed lubricants but for costs under $1 per acre it is an important decision that can all of the difference. For those that want to take their planter box treatment to the next level Brandt has developed an 80-20 formulation infused with their enz-up enzymes. These enzymes in conjunction with the micronutrients in the treatment help to improve root structure and plant vigor at emergence.
