Coshocton farmer wins award in soybean yield contest

Coshocton farmer Steve Finton was recently honored among the nation ’ s highest-producing soybean farmers of his region in the 2020 Asgrow National Yield Contest . Finton won the award with a yield of 90 bushels per acre with Asgrow AG33X8 brand .
“ Pushing the performance
boundaries comes natural to these farmers , and we could not be more proud to partner with them in their quest for higher-yield potential ,” said Clint Chaffer , Asgrow brand manager . “ The Asgrow brand continues to innovate , leading the way with exclusive genetics not found
in any other seed bag so farmers can continue to reach their goals and get to that next bushel .”
Among 28 farmers receiving awards , 14 achieved yields of more than 100 bushels per acre in the 2020 contest . The Asgrow National Yield Contest first debuted in 2012 and encourages producers to push soybean yield limits . The contest provides farmers the opportunity to innovate and learn more about the latest input technology and management practices for continuing advances in agricultural production .
Asgrow brand soybeans are focused on providing farmers innovative products that offer strong agronomic characteristics and exclusive genetics developed from an industry-leading breeding program for maximizing yield and profit potential . Farmers who plant Asgrow products benefit from strong emergence and
early-season vigor , good standability , and protection against yield-robbing soybean diseases .

Judy Leas agreed . “ I have never found another burrito I have liked better . Miss it so much .”

Each table had a little mini jukebox that you could put your money in and make your selections — a pretty cool place and lots of fun .”
“ We would go to the basins and ice skate until we were frozen and then walk to Captain Nye ’ s Sweet Shop to get hot chocolate and a hot dog on those delicious split buns while we waited for our parents to pick us up ,” Ledra Strohacker said .
The restaurants may be gone , but the fun and laughter live on in so many memories .
