Meet the Growers Who Are Serious About Their Soybeans
With an understanding that high-yielding soybeans require more nutrients, these growers decided to try more intensive management practices.
AdvanSix partnered with six innovative growers and their retailers to see what it takes to maximize soybean production at the farm level. As part of this collaboration, growers will conduct split-field trials, where half of a field receives supplemental ammonium sulfate, and the other half doesn’t. AMS promotes proper stand establishment, season-long plant and canopy health, node maximization, bloom and pod establishment and supports improved pod fill late in the season. Using AMS is all about maximizing soybean yield, profit per acre, and ROI, and splitting high yielding fields is an excellent way for growers to collect data and observations on any performance enhancements AMS delivers throughout the growing season on their farm.
We will follow each grower’s journey from application, through the growing season, to harvest. Come back and visit for updates!

AdvanSix is partnering with six growers and their retailers in the following locations: Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri and Ohio. You can follow each grower’s updates throughout the year by clicking on their profiles below.
Marc Kaiser
Marc says the key to success in his operation is proper evaluation and implementation of evolving agronomic management practices. For the Supplement Your Soybean field trials, Marc seeks to fine-tune the sulfur and nitrogen application timing in his higher potential soybean fields.
Ryan Reimers
Years of experience in the agriculture industry has taught Ryan that sulfur nutrition plays an important role in proper soybean development, including protein production and photosynthesis. By applying ammonium sulfate in the Supplement Your Soybeans trial, he hopes to see an increase of 3-5 bu/ac compared to last year.
