Winfield United Answer Plots

Since 1988, Winfield United has been delivering local agronomic insights through the Answer Plot system. With over 100 sites nationwide, Answer Plot research has been instrumental in developing an understanding from everything from hybrid response to fungicide applications to nitrogen management to corn rootworm control mechanisms. A key advantage of the Answer Plot system is the ability to aggregate over 5 million data points into a national dataset while also being able to highlight hyper-local insights. At each Answer Plot, climate and weather data are measured at the site to further understand product performance based on those metrics. South Dakota has 5 Answer Plot locations spread out across the state representing different soil types, climate conditions, and pest populations. Answer Plots are also a collaborative tool between Winfield United and many partner organizations. Customers can see data from a variety of seed products in similar environments, often local and relevant to their area.

Beyond research, Answer Plots provide a backdrop for agronomic and seed focused training events for retailers and farmers throughout the growing season. 4 of the South Dakota Answer Plot locations have demonstration areas for highlighting pesticide products, adjuvants, and other management techniques where attendees can get a hands-on experience with products and techniques that often mirror the research being done at the plot. Winfield United works directly with retailers to bring agronomic expertise through these training sessions and enables attendees to be the local experts within their geographies. Often times, retailer-hosted Answer Plot events feature multiple companies offering insights from their own portfolios.

Insights from Answer Plot research are available at www.answerplot.com.
