Get More From Your Seed Investment With The Elite Rx® Program
As much as we love seed, we know it’s only one variable in the complex equation it takes to run a profitable operation year in and year out. Our retailers understand that too. In fact, they’re the best positioned partner to help you develop a season-long plan that will help optimize your seed investment. No one knows better what it takes to fertilize and feed a crop, protect it from pests, protect it from disease and, especially, protect it from marginal seed than they do.
We’re so confident in their agronomic leadership we’re willing to put our money behind it with the Elite Rx® program. This full-season agronomic prescription is based on decades of Answer Plot® research and customized by you and your retailer. Plus, it’s backed by a service warranty to help further minimize your risk.*

Seeing The Acre As A System
Why does packaging everything up in one plan benefit you? It’s not a sales tactic. It’s good agronomy.
Based on years of data and countless trials, we’ve discovered it is essential to manage the acre as the comprehensive system it is. We could present you with one product and try to prove that it will deliver X number of bushels at the end of the year. But the truth is, there are too many factors that impact yield. You should not make management decisions in a vacuum.
Setting A Strategic Plan
When you have a comprehensive, season-long plan defined ahead of time, it takes the stress and emotion out of in-season decision-making because you know you have the strongest agronomic decisions already made.
We’ve seen countless situations where growers start to get pessimistic in-season due to various factors. If they didn’t have a written and signed plan to stick to, they might have gone off course. But at the end of the season, they’re the ones who come out on top compared to neighbors who may have reacted impromptu or simply didn’t have such a strong agronomic foundation guiding their season.
Playing The Long Game
Of course, seeing positive returns at the end of a given year is important. But farming is a bigger picture than a year-long snapshot. You have an operation to maintain. A legacy to uphold.
The Elite Rx program is designed to play the long game. Sure, you’ll likely see benefits your first year. But the gains really start to add up when you make strong agronomic decisions consistently. Years in a row of Elite Rx plans will go a long way in supporting your operation’s financial performance.
