Resources
Tools and guides to support practical seed decisions in South Central Minnesota.
Built for placement clarity, risk fit, and return on investment.
Featured Tool
Soybean ROI Calculator
Compare projected return across soybean varieties using your own yield assumptions, commodity price, and seed cost.
Designed for fast side-by-side evaluation to support placement and product selection decisions.
How to Use the ROI Calculator
- Enter your projected yield.
- Enter soybean price.
- Enter seed cost.
- Review ROI comparison.
- Adjust assumptions to test different scenarios.
The calculator is mobile-friendly and designed for quick use during field visits or customer conversations.
What This Tool Helps You Evaluate
- Yield sensitivity to price changes
- Cost structure differences between varieties
- Risk-adjusted return scenarios
- Economic comparison across maturity ranges
This is an economic decision tool. Agronomic placement should still consider soil type, planting window, drainage, and disease pressure.
Meristem Product Matching
Match the right Meristem products to your operation
Answer four questions about your crop, primary goal, application timing, and operation scale. The tool returns a primary and supporting Meristem product recommendation with a short explanation of why each fits.
Useful for growers evaluating in-furrow biologicals, seed treatments, or foliar programs — and wanting a structured starting point before a field conversation.
Meristem Hopper Throttle Decision App
Determine if hopper-applied products fit your field risk profile
A short decision app to evaluate whether hopper-box applied Meristem products align with your field risk attributes. Takes approximately five minutes and covers both corn and soybean acres.
Best for operations without in-furrow capability that want to evaluate planter-applied biological programs before the season.
Planting Window Reference (South-Central Minnesota)
For context when evaluating maturity fit:
- Early: Before April 25
- Normal: April 25 – May 10
- Late: After May 11
Planting window affects yield potential and should be considered alongside ROI analysis.
Field-Specific Recommendation
If you would like a recommendation tailored to a specific field, send:
- Field name
- Planting window
- Soil type or drainage profile
- Top disease or pest concerns
- Irrigated or dryland
You will receive a placement recommendation with a short explanation of fit and economic rationale.
