Not All Beans (or Seeds) Are Created Equal

 

By: AgVenture, Inc.

Of the more than three million soybean varieties evaluated by Corteva Agriscience each year, only one in 10,000 makes it from the lab to a farmer’s field—and for AgVenture brand customers, that’s no accident.

Precision Selection, Field-First Focus

AgVenture, drawing from a robust research pipeline from Corteva Agriscience, brings high-performing AgVenture brand Enlist E3® soybeans to local growers—products that combine elite genetics with agronomic expertise. "We don’t just deliver seed, we deliver local solutions specific to your fields," says Jeff Shaner, AgVenture Regional Product Manager. "Every bag of AgVenture brand soybeans is backed by years of research and data—because your yield potential is earned before the seed ever leaves the bag."

Over the past five years, Corteva has turbocharged its breeding program, and AgVenture growers are seeing the results on the ground: improved weed control, agronomic strength, and yield stability, even in challenging conditions. 

Built to Perform—Local Proof, Local Expertise

It begins with an unmatched germplasm library developed over 50 years. This gives AgVenture access to elite Corteva genetics that drive better emergence, stress tolerance, and disease resistance. “Our farmers need beans suited for their ground, not just the best average nationwide,” explains Shaner. “That’s why we focus so heavily on local field data and local agronomist insight.”

AgVenture benefits from Corteva’s network of 5,000 scientists and 120+ R&D sites, using state-of-the-art technology like AI modeling, drone imagery, and CRISPR gene editing. These innovations ensure our growers get soybean varieties fine-tuned for real farms, fighting Sudden Death Syndrome, SCN, Phytophthora root rot, and drought—before the seed hits your planter.

Stability in Uncertain Times 

Unpredictable weather and volatile markets can make planning a challenge. With Enlist E3®, our growers gain season-long dependability—with strong canopy structure, lodging resistance, and proven yield stability. "Our goal is to help you plant with confidence, knowing that your AgVenture brand soybeans will perform, not just when things are perfect, but when things get tough," shares Shaner.

Soybeans Engineered for Your Success

At AgVenture, we know not all beans are created equal. Working hand-in-hand with Corteva’s innovations, every step—from genetic selection to local field support—is designed around farmer needs. These soybeans deliver ROI through yield, disease resilience, and agronomic fit.

"In the end, it’s about more than numbers on a chart," concludes Shaner. "It’s about beans that succeed—on your farm, under your conditions, and in every type of growing season."
