(The officiating) isn't the reason we lost. We had a very difficult time with their pressure. . . . They just took it to us. |
In addition to multi-race SCN resistance, 95M60 has a couple of other traits that are beneficial and unique. It has good root-knot nematode resistance and very strong soybean aphid antibiosis. |
It's nice that people regard us that highly. I don't think people thought we were going to be as good as we are with (Ray) Blackburn gone. It's still the middle of January. Now if we're No. 1 come March 17 (end of the state playoffs), then I'll really be happy. |
Obviously we wanted to be the best team in the state by winning the Federation. We'd never be happy with a loss, but we know the big picture, and we're still state champions. We're so proud of the kids and that's what we'll focus on. |
One can be so focused on biotechnology, which is certainly important ... and lose sight of all the other career opportunities ... It's really going to be a mini city within a city. |
Resistance to SCN races 1, 2, 3, 5 and 14 has been confirmed with 95M60. A change in the nematode spectrum in Southern fields created a need for this type of multi-race resistance. |
This is a breakthrough for farmers in the South. Farmers needed a good, high-yielding variety with multi-race SCN resistance. |
We knew what they were going to do to try to break the press. We just had to adjust to it. We got active. We're focused in on Saturday. |
We used those markers to ensure we had the genes required for multi-race resistance and focused our field-testing efforts on identifying superior yield performance. We stacked the deck and were able to come up with all face cards. |
