Our second Pioneer Corn Plot was planted on May 20, 2013 at our Lewiston Farm. This plot has 12 varieties and is in a field with irrigation. Feel free to follow the progress below as well as on our {Gallery} page and Facebook.

Well, I was out in the fields yesterday {May 20} and discovered that the best way to share the plot progress with you would be to take video, however, it was super windy, so needless to say I have some more practicing to do. Maybe I'll have a video to share next week, which I'll add to this post. Here is a photo of progress for Week 2 at the Marsh trial location:

Sorry this is turning into a bit of a hodge-podge! But all of the progress is right here... just sift through it and contact us with any questions!

We had film crews here in April and May. Here are the finished products!!

We were very excited to get this opportunity! Contact us if you have any questions. 

I'm creating this blog post in case there are ever any articles that we want to share with you all in our newsletter that aren't posted online. So I'll post them online here in the blog so you can access them. Therefore, I'll be updating this blog post semi-frequently. Hope you all are doing well in the fields! Call us if you need anything!

Corn Silage is Still the Best Option for Late Planted Forage

We got in the fields this week and were able to get some corn plots planted and got some footage of Todd and Marc in action... We were out there about 4 hours for this plot, planting nine Pioneer Seed corn varieties with maturities from a 105 day down to a 95 day. In total we planted close to nine acres for this plot.

We'll keep you posted with the plot progress all the way up to harvest time on our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/gumzseedservice)!

We hosted our first open house and were able to network with about 50 customers who showed up. It was a rainy day, but that was okay! We'd like to thank everyone who came out... Please send us an email or give us a call if you weren't able to make it and would like to come check out our facilities!

Happy April you all and welcome to the Gumz Seed Service first ever blog post!

The Pioneer Seed bins arrived earlier last month and were all set up. On a sunny morning, it's a gorgeous view from the road as you drive up to the farm! We are very excited to be able to offer bulk seed treating (for soybeans) as one of our services. Just last week, the rest of the equipment (conveyor, tender, bulk tank, etc.) was installed and we'll be able to show case the entire system at our April 9th Pre-Planting Customer Appreciation Open House! We also will have video footage of the installation available for us to share with you hopefully by June! 

Below are some pictures of the installation process:
