The 2025 growing season is wrapping up, but the learning never stops here at Renk Seed. In this episode of Renk Seeds of Innovation, Max Renk is joined by Karl Bobholz, Alex Renk, and Jeff Renk to share what they saw across the Corn Belt this year.
As Alex mentioned, “this year was all about top-end yield,” while last year was all about stress. And together, they tell the story of what stable genetics can really do.
From Southern Rust and Sudden Death Syndrome to nitrogen management and emerging biologicals, the Renk team breaks down the wins, surprises, and lessons shaping seed performance. They also unpack what plot data reveals about hybrid performance, product selection, and stress-year testing—and how we can turn these insights into smarter decisions for your acres in 2026.
