During the Thursday, February 26th, 2026 episode of Market Talk during Commodity Classic, we visited with CROPLAN to discuss what's new in the 2026 corn and soybean seed class, how localized seed innovation drives smarter decisions and more reliable returns for growers, how last year's challenges influences this year's decisions and so much more. Jeff Osterhaus, seed innovation manager for CROPLAN, joined us to talk about what the 2026 CROPLAN corn and soybean classes have to offer. We also sat down with Robert Cossar, CROPLAN seed innovation experience manager, to discuss how seed innovation is becoming more local and how data is leading to more predictable ROI.
