Research Plots

Advance Agra Service is a leader in conducting on-farm testing and works hard to bring Virginia and North Carolina growers the highest yielding varieties in their respective areas. Due to technology and highly developed breeding practices in the seed industry today, the framework of agriculture is changing. New corn and soybean varieties are being created on a yearly basis. With the industry undergoing such swift transformations, many farmers are now demanding on-farm research and data collection concerning new hybrids.

Our research approach to enable Virginia and North Carolina growers to select the highest yielding corn and soybean seed varieties for their location is what sets us apart. By conducting variety research each year, we work with you and for you to move yields forward.
