The first corn and soybean seed shopping list for the 2027 crop year is out, giving growers an early tool to plan their seed purchases.

The list, published as a resource for farmers preparing for 2027, compiles corn hybrids and soybean varieties into a single reference. It arrives ahead of the traditional seed-buying window, when growers weigh trait packages, maturity ratings and yield performance against input budgets.

Seed selection remains one of the largest single line items in a corn or soybean production budget. Early access to a consolidated shopping list lets producers compare options before dealers finalize pricing and before early-order discounts expire, decisions that flow directly into per-acre cost projections and, ultimately, farm margins.

The publisher framed the release as the first such list for the 2027 season, signaling that updated editions and additional entries may follow as seed companies complete their commercial lineups. Growers evaluating the list should treat listed hybrids and varieties as planning inputs rather than final commitments, since availability, trait licensing and pricing typically shift through the sales cycle.

With the 2027 planning cycle now open, the list gives farmers a starting point for matching genetics to their acreage, soil types and pest pressure well before planting decisions lock in.
