Farmers Achieve Strong Performance in Asgrow^® Brand National Yield Contest

Farmers who planted Asgrow^® brand products last season achieved impressive performance in the brand’s 2025 national yield contest.

The annual competition is open to all U.S. farmers who plant Asgrow soybean products. For 2025, there were 72 winners, all with Asgrow XtendFlex^® products.

The top winner was Indiana farmer Josh Anthis with a yield of 134.5 bushels per acre with Asgrow AG40XF5 Brand. Twenty-nine winners achieved yields of 100 or more bushels per acre.

“Planting early and planting deep has really been a big success on our farm,” said Anthis, who was also one of the top-yielding winners in the 2024 Asgrow yield contest. “The plant health has been second to none, compared to a lot of other varieties we used in the past. Just managing it the way it needs to be managed pulls out the yield advantages.”

Brittany Eubank, Asgrow brand manager, expressed appreciation for all farmers who entered the contest.

“The Asgrow brand has an unwavering focus on soybeans, innovation in the field and how we can maximize yield and return on investment for farmers,” she said. “We congratulate these winners for their management skills and thank them for choosing products that deliver superior yield performance potential.”

Asgrow yield contest winners, along with DEKALB^® winners in the 2025 National Corn Growers Association Yield Contest, will be honored at the brands’ yield winner banquet Feb. 24 during the 2026 Commodity Classic in San Antonio, Texas.

For more information about both brands, farmers can contact their DEKALB Asgrow seed dealer or visit Asgrow.com.
