FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Get answers to common questions about how the Answer Plot program is built, tested and used to support on-farm decisions.

Why was the Answer Plot program created? 

The Answer Plot program was created to give growers greater confidence in their agronomic decisions. Since 1988, we have been transforming data from test sites across the country into expertise growers can use on their farm.

What kinds of products are tested at Answer Plot locations?

We test competing products, partner products and WinField® United products to help make sure growers make the right purchase for their operations.

How can data from Proving Grounds trials help me make more informed decisions? 

Our Proving Ground program shows how products perform on real farms under differentiated soil and field conditions. This helps you see how they may work in your own fields and management system. When paired with Answer Plot data, it helps lead to more confident decisions and stronger ROI potential.

How is data collected and legitimized?

Answer Plot data is collected through replicated field trials across Answer Plot locations nationwide. Using applied science, we analyze and compare statistical seed and crop protection data from CROPLAN® and WinField United products, as well as competitor and partner products. This localized information helps to fine‐tune seed and management decisions down to the acre.

How do the Answer Plot Live Sites differ from traditional plot tours?

Answer Plot Live Sites go beyond a one-time plot tour. Instead of a single snapshot, they showcase the latest innovations with ongoing updates throughout the growing season. Growers can engage in person or follow along digitally, gaining deeper insights and more value all season long.
