Seed decisions are some of the most important choices you’ll make for the 2026 season. The right hybrids and varieties don’t just add bushels at harvest—they protect your fields against stress, keep management flexible, and set the tone for every agronomic decision that follows. With new genetics, trait packages, and updated performance data now available, the latest seed guides are packed with opportunities to fine-tune your lineup.
At Sylvite, we’ve rounded up the highlights from our key suppliers—Snobelen Farms, CROPLAN, and NK Seeds—so you can quickly see what’s new, what’s improved, and which products are worth a closer look this year. Whether you’re planning early wheat rotations, targeting offensive yield, or needing defensive stability, these updates will help you build a seed plan with confidence.
Snobelen Farms
Snobelen Farms sources superior soybean genetics that are high performing and well adapted for both technology traited and food grade markets. We source high yielding food grade and technology traited soybean varieties well adapted for various maturities and soil types.
CROSBY XF (2675 CHU / RM 0.5): A very well rounded defensive soybean variety. Short plant height allows for strong lodging scores, while a bushy canopy fills rows quickly, making it adaptable to different configurations. Crosby XF brings SCN protection—something Altitude R2 lacked—plus the convenience of the XtendFlex trait for flexible herbicide options. Its maturity ensures timely harvest and a wide window for winter wheat establishment.
ORR R2X (2750 CHU / RM 0.8): An offensive soybean variety with SCN resistance and excellent standability, nearly identical to Altitude R2. Taller stature, bushy canopy, and broad adaptability make it a consistent high-yield option across soil types and management practices.
SFL 06-44IP (2725 CHU / RM 0.6): A new, exclusive Snobelen Farms yellow hilum conventional variety for the Identity Preserved market, offering SCN resistance and the Rps1c Phytophthora gene. With premium potential, early vigor, and strong disease tolerance, it suits 7”-15” row widths and delivers balanced performance across farms.
