Our 2025 Soybean variety trial data from UT’s County Standardized Trials are in.
You’ll notice our locations are down this year. We lost several to wet weather early-on that had to be replanted or scrapped at harvest due to inconsistencies and/or poor stand.
As always, if you have questions or need more information about the CST program, or any other UT programs, please contact your local County Extension office.

Our 2025 TN Corn Official Variety Trial (OVT) results are now available. These data are from our small plot trials performed at eight sites located within six of our UT AgResearch and Education Centers across the state (Jackson, Milan, Spring Hill, Springfield, Knoxville, and Greeneville).
This year, we had 40 hybrids, representing 11 brands/companies, included in the OVT. Our top performers (those not statistically different from the highest yielding hybrid within each test) are listed in the 2025 OVT Corn “A Group” Table below. The full results, including information on yield, moisture, test weight, plant and ear height, lodging, protein, oil, and starch for each hybrid within and across locations is available as an excel file download – Corn Grain Tables 2025 PRELIM – OVT ONLY.
County trial data is not included in this PRELIM report as that data is still coming in. It will be included in the FINAL report. Continue reading
