Unleash the “Madness” for Your Fields: Top Latham® Picks for 2024

Posted By steve-sick

Just like the excitement of March Madness grips basketball fans, spring brings a different kind of competition for farmers: the quest for maximum yield. But assembling a winning lineup for your field isn’t a matter of a lucky draft pick. It requires a strategic approach, and that’s where Latham Hi-Tech Seeds steps in.

Think of Latham’s R&D team as your expert recruiters, meticulously scouting and selecting the top-performing corn and soybean varieties for the Upper Midwest.

Here’s a glimpse into Latham’s “bracketology” of seed picks for 2024:

Starting Five for Latham Corn:

  1. 3937 VT Double PRO: The Point Guard. This early-maturing superstar gets your season off to a fast break. It is adaptive to all soil types and emerges quickly and strongly, setting the stage for a productive campaign.
  2. 4937 VT Double PRO: The Fan Favorite. Team Latham’s biggest seller the last couple of years, this hybrid has fast dry down and top-end yields. It’s a farm favorite in the north, delivering a winning shot even when the competition wilts.
  3. 4866 Tricepta®: The Power Forward. The high-yielding hybrid plays a critical role. With excellent standability and a multi-year track record, it’s ready to dominate even the most challenging fields.
  4. 5336 PowerCore®: The Quiet Leader. Exceptional disease ratings, impressive girth and high test-weight for this hybrid keeps the competition off guard to maximize harvest potential.
  5. 5815 VT Double PRO: The Clutch Performer. Known for its outstanding root strength, this beast stands tall even under harsh weather conditions — making it a reliable champion that delivers when the pressure’s on.

Starting Five — Soybeans:

  • 0254 XtendFlex®: The MVP (Most Valuable Pod): One of the tallest in the market, this variety keeps the first pod higher off the ground, giving it champion rights against yield-robbing pathogens. Coupled with impressive IDC tolerance, it’s a must-have player in Team Latham’s portfolio.
  • 0888 XtendFlex: The Defensive Stopper. This showoff has excellent standability with good lateral branching, ensuring a harvest victory with consistent performance all season long.
  • 1881 Enlist E3®: The “And-One” Producer. It may be new to the lineup this year, but this Peking source SCN came to play. A new Ironclad® designation for the highest disease resistance makes it a high scorer across all soil types.
  • 2031 Enlist E3: The Fast Stealer: Another Peking source SCN, this variety flies out of the ground and moves easily north or south of zone. Its standability and solid IDC and SDS tolerances make it a high-yielding game changer.
  • 2551 Enlist E3: The “Moneyball” Choice. Latham coaches call this variety a “yield hog” that blew the doors off test trials last year. It’s a newly-crowned Ironclad® variety that’s itching to perform – and won’t disappoint.
