Every acre brings a different set of conditions, challenges and goals. That’s why choosing the right seed for your acres involves more than looking at yield potential alone. It’s important to consider the right combination of genetics, traits and agronomic characteristics for each growing environment.

As we look ahead to 2027, our focus remains on identifying products that meet growers’ needs, evaluating performance across environments and helping growers find the right fit for their acres. Here’s a closer look at how we evaluate seed products, what’s new and updated in the 2027 CROPLAN^® seed lineup and how you can use performance data and local expertise to make informed seed decisions.

How Products are Selected for Your Acres

Our product selection process starts with the grower and identifying their needs. Working closely with our local sales teams, we gather feedback from the field, identify gaps in our lineup and understand the challenges growers are working to manage. Answer Plot^® assessments, Proving Ground insights and other replicated trials all contribute to our evaluation process. We also consider agronomic ratings, disease characteristics and feedback from our field teams.

CROPLAN seed is unique because we can evaluate a broad range of genetic backgrounds and traits against existing CROPLAN hybrids and varieties as well as regional and national competitors. We test potential products for one to two years across multiple environments and select them based on what best fits our product needs

Yield is always important, but it isn't the only factor considered. We look at soil types, yield environments, regional needs and the agronomic characteristics that can help growers manage risk. The goal is to identify products that offer the right combination of performance and agronomic fit for the environments where they're needed.

New Corn Products for 2027

Our corn lineup includes products with different maturities, trait packages and regional applications. As you plan for 2027, there are several hybrids worth discussing with your local CROPLAN seed retailer.

New products that have shown success across varying geographies include:

CP5911VT2P
- High yield potential, full-season hybrid with good stay-green, late-season intactness and drought tolerance.

CP5777SSPRO
- Full-season, dual-purpose hybrid with solid overall agronomics and girthy ear flex.

CP5249PCE
- Broadly adapted hybrid with high yield potential and a flex ear-type, suitable for wide planting populations.

CP4689PCE
- 106-day relative maturity (RM) corn hybrid that offers outstanding yield potential from east to west across environments.

CP4129PCE
- Broadly adapted across yield environments; excels on highly productive acres; strong late-season agronomics.

CP3595VT4P
- 95-day RM corn hybrid that offers high yield potential across both productive soils and tougher acres.

CP3104VT4P
- Big yield potential when placed on medium-to-highly productive acres; offers good drought tolerance and a high response to intensive nitrogen management.

CP2667VT2P
- An adaptable 86-day RM corn hybrid with strong yield potential on productive ground and stress tolerance for droughted soils.

CP4111VT4P
- 101-day RM corn hybrid that is broadly adapted across varying soil types and yield environments.

These products provide a starting point for evaluating which hybrids fit your operation. Maturity, field conditions, trait needs and management practices all play a role in determining the right placement for each product. We recommend working with your local retailer to review available product information and determine which options align with your acres and goals.

New and updated soybean varieties for 2027

We're also bringing new and updated options to the CROPLAN soybean lineup. These products give growers more choices to consider as they build a lineup around their maturity needs, growing environments and management practices.

A few products to consider include:

CP0240XF
- A 0.2 relative maturity WinPak® soybean variety that performs well across yield levels and soil types.

CP1160E
- A 1.1 relative maturity WinPak soybean variety consisting of CP1127E and CP1137E. This Enlist E3® variety is broadly adapted for various yield environments, offering improved yield potential and iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) tolerance over CP1130E.

CP1830E
- A 1.8 RM WinPak soybean variety that combines top-end yield potential and agronomic strength.

CP2920E (upgraded for 2027)
- A 2.9 RM high-yielding WinPak variety that has very strong agronomics and broad adaptability across defensive and offensive soil types.

CP3330E (upgraded for 2027)
- A 3.3 RM WinPak soybean variety that blends CP3327E and CP3426E for broad adaptation across yield environments.

CP3620ES (upgraded for 2027)
- A 3.6 RM WinPak soybean variety that blends CP3626ES and CP3627ES for broad adaptability east to west that performs consistently across most soil types.

CP3920ES (upgraded for 2027)
- 3.9 RM WinPak soybean variety that offers an outstanding agronomic package with high-yield potential and great defensive characteristics.

As you compare soybean varieties, think about how each option fits your maturity requirements, disease and weed pressure, field conditions and management goals. Your local retailer can help you evaluate the available information and narrow the options for your operation.

Regional Performers Worth Considering

New products aren't the only options to consider when planning for 2027. Established hybrids and varieties can also play an important role in building a seed lineup that fits your acres.

On the corn side, CP3330aVT2P and CP2324VT2P are established, high-volume hybrids worth discussing with your retailer.

For soybeans, CP3120E, CP0246XF and CP0940XF are additional products to consider. CP0246XF and CP3120E are significant-volume varieties in our lineup, and CP0940XF also was noted for its performance in the most recent season.
Performance can vary by location and growing conditions, so it's important to look at data that reflects your environment. We encourage growers to review available Answer Plot results and other relevant insights with their local retailers to determine which products may fit their fields.

Put Data to Work with the M5 Tool

Choosing the seed is the first part of the seed decision. Knowing where to place it and how to manage it is just as important.

Our M5 approach helps to match hybrid characteristics with management practices and field conditions. By considering factors specific to your operation, we can help identify products and management approaches that give each hybrid the best opportunity for success.

Your local retailer can help bring these resources together, discuss your operation's needs and use M5 to guide product placement and management decisions. That conversation helps connect the data to the conditions and priorities on your farm.

Lock in Your 2027 Seed Plans

Every field has its own needs. Choosing seed is about finding the right fit for your acres, not simply choosing it based on its performance number. Our approach combines access to a broad range of genetics with multi-environment testing, agronomic evaluations and feedback from the field. By combining performance data with local expertise, we can help you make informed seed decisions for the season ahead.

As you plan for 2027, talk with your local CROPLAN seed retailer about new and updated corn and soybean products. Review the data available for your region, consider the characteristics that matter most to your operation and identify the options that align with your management goals.
