It’s a decision that comes around every year. You’re looking ahead to your next soybean crop and considering what variety to buy. You could stick with what you’ve grown before or try out a new variety or two to assess their potential. But what are the other factors that will lead you to the best decision for your operation? If you only consider season length and yield data, you might not be seeing the whole picture.
Yield potential and maturity are often the first things growers look at when choosing soybean seed. But when margins are tight and every acre counts, factors like local testing, agronomic support, disease tolerance and weed management options are just as important to success. Choosing the right soybean seed isn't just about the genetics in the bag. It's about knowing that product has been tested under conditions like yours, having access to trusted recommendations and support, and having the tools and technology to help protect yield potential throughout the season.
A System That Works Together
When you choose DEKALB® soybeans, you're getting more than seed. You're getting an integrated soybean system designed to work together to help protect yield potential throughout the season. As weed and disease pressures continue to challenge farmers across Eastern Canada, choosing the right combination of genetics, trait technology and crop protection tools can make a meaningful difference in crop performance.
DEKALB soybeans are a part of the Roundup Ready® Xtend Crop System, bringing together high-performing genetics, trait technology and weed control solutions designed to help manage challenging weeds, including glyphosate-resistant Canada fleabane, common ragweed and perennial sow thistle. Combined with strong white mould tolerance and crop protection tools like Delaro® Complete fungicide, DEKALB soybeans work with Bayer’s integrated system to help protect yield potential and get the most out of every acre.
Choose a Partner, Not Just a Product
Every season comes with questions and challenges, from variety selection and disease pressure to changing weather conditions and management decisions. Having access to expert advice can help you make more informed decisions before planting and throughout the growing season. When you choose DEKALB soybeans, you’re backed by local dealers and Bayer representatives who have experience with the products and understand your local growing conditions. That support helps ensure recommendations are relevant to individual farms and management goals. Support can also be important when conditions don't go as planned. Bayer's robust replant program provides added peace of mind when unexpected weather creates challenges after planting.

Seed Selection Is About More Than What’s in the Bag
When you choose your soybean seed for the coming season, it pays to consider factors beyond what’s in the bag. Yield will always be your primary consideration, but disease tolerance, weed control options, product support and soybean innovation should also form part of your consideration set. In soybeans, success is built from the ground up.
