Studies at this site are devoted to various agronomic practices, with a major emphasis on the production of corn and soybeans and some forage work. Varieties for these performance trials are entered by seed companies, which pay an entry fee for each variety. Companies select which trial is planted using a lattice field plot design with three replications. Soybean plots were planted in 15-inch rows by 25 feet long.

Companies select which varieties to enter and which trial to enter.
Each trial is planted using a randomized complete block field plot design with three replications. Soybean plots were planted in seven 15-inch rows wide by 25 feet long and five rows are harvested. Differences smaller than the L.S.D. may be due to chance and are considered non-significant. Direct comparisons can not be made between varieties entered in different trials. The abbreviation N.S. in the yield tables means the results were insignificant.
