One of my sponsors for AgWired coverage of this week’s National Farm Machinery Show is Syngenta. They’re very bullish on beans right now and growers attending the show will have lots to learn about their AgriEdge Soybean program.

For starters they’re going to see “Ask me about 21-60” everywhere throughout the show. I had no idea what that meant until I spoke with Jon Scharingson. He says it’s a premium of up to 21 cents per bushel per acre, up to their first 60 bushels of soybeans, for each qualifying order of NK Brand Roundup Ready soybeans with Garst, Golden Harvest or NK Brand. According to Jon growers can match it with qualifying Syngenta crop protection and it adds up to cash back of up to $12.60 per acre of beans. Sounds like a lot of cash to me.

Speaking of cash, growers can visit the Syngenta booth or attend one of the 21-60 seminars held throughout the day to learn more – and receive a crisp $10 bill for their time!! If you want to see a preview of the AgriEdge Soybean program you can find it online. This will be my first time attending this annual show and I’m really looking forward to it.
