The inaugural Field Forged Series lineup features 26 total hybrids, including 10 new NK corn hybrids and four new Enogen corn hybrids, and 20 new NK soybean varieties. NK Corn Product Manager Joe Bollman says each hybrid and variety in the lineup were carefully evaluated and hand-selected for top performance.

“It’s the elite of the elite products both within the corn and soybean portfolios that NK has to offer,” said Bollman. “What they are is extremely high yielding products with sound agronomics such as root strength, stalk strength, and broadly adaptive for a number of acres. These products are available for purchase now for planting in 2022. Like I said, they are the best of the best that we’ve had multi-year tested with strong performance against key competitors in the industry. These products really set farmers up to maximize their yield potential as well as maximizing their return on investment.”

Bollman says the introduction of the Field Forged Series is the culmination of many years of research and development, testing and working alongside farmers to deliver meaningful innovations for their fields.

“Every product that gets the Field Forage designation has at least two years of data on it,” said Bollman. “Some of them are new products into our portfolio whereas some of them have been in our portfolio for just a couple of years. There’s hundreds if not thousands of data points on these products to show performance yield wise, but also looking at different environments. We know that every year is going to be different. We have to be able to manage the stresses growers are going to experience every year and these products have that consistency.”

All varieties in the Field Forged Series launch class have shown consistently outstanding yield performance in variable environments, offer resistance to Soybean Cyst Nematodes, and provide strong resistance to Phytophthora root rot through one or more genes.
