Our first specialist variety in this series, 17EE32, is a yield monster. Despite an earlier maturity, this soybean is among our lineup’s yield leaders, if not THE yield leader. Its ability to handle different soil types and a very solid disease profile allow it to maintain top-end yield in many different situations. The one negative, and it’s a prominent one, is its lack of ability to tolerate Iron Deficiency Chlorosis. This variety should not be used in any situation involving significant portions of the field with high pH without the expectation of a lot of yellowing.  This is a nearly unbeatable soybean in situations with balanced pH, but once we get into higher pHs, it falls apart quickly. We have had this soybean placed in fields with small spots of IDC that were destructive, and the top-end yield was able to overcome the negatives, but we will expect this variety to be hurt badly by IDC. Like 15EE32, 17EE32 also carries 3a PRR resistance which is a huge positive in a world with increasing PRR pressure. If there is a place for 17EE32 in an operation, this soybean should be used as much as possible.
