What’s your best kept secret? We have one – and it’s kind of a big deal. For WinField® United Canada, it’s the not-so-hidden gem Answer Plot® field scale trial site. Located East of Saskatoon, Answer Plot is a research site dedicated to agronomic learning and evaluation. Since 2018, WinField United has been using Answer Plot to showcase the latest and greatest innovations, along with agronomy training demos. The lineup for 2026 is ready to impress, providing knowledge that will fill agronomists’ investigative cups long after harvest is complete.
Answer Plot Tours
Serving as a host ground for a firsthand site visit to innovation, Answer Plot becomes an industry leading tour ground each year in the middle of July. With the WinField United team leading the charge, attendees are treated to a fantastic combination of knowledge and food over a half-day tour.
What makes this tour different than other industry events? Answer Plot goes the extra mile to bring forward demonstrations that are relevant for all level of agronomy experts, whether your journey is just beginning or whether you’re preparing to ride into the sunset of retirement. These demo sites are seeded later than typical, allowing the crop to be at the specific stage come tour time that will best showcase the effects of various products. Most tours talk about how a new herbicide or fungicide works – Answer Plot stands out by showing attendees the real effect, in real time, in a real field.
Trial Data Capture
No product ever comes to market with a line of “try this, it doesn’t work”. Every registered product works somewhere, under a specific set of conditions. Answer Plot aims to find answers to what those conditions are, so you can have confidence selling your growers solutions. Answer Plot is an opportunity to consistently capture local, relevant data on how a product or seed hybrid performs. This is a story about far more than just yield, with in-season trial measurements and data capture throughout the growing season to help explain why, or why not, a yield difference occurred. Trials are taken to harvest and weighed for differences between treatments. Knowing this full scope of information allows WinField United and their independent ag retail partners (and growers) to have an extra degree of confidence in the results that are garnered. This information is then disseminated to retails over the fall and winter months, starting with the Agronomy Academy coming up December 2 and 3 in Saskatoon.
What does Answer Plot 2026 have in store?
Trials this year feature a plethora of different product types. Let’s dig in further:
See it. Believe It. Apply It.
At its core, Answer Plot isn’t just about showcasing products—it’s about building confidence through evidence. Whether you’re an agronomist just starting out or a seasoned expert, the insights gathered at Answer Plot provide a deeper understanding of how products perform in the real world. From tailored agronomy training to rigorous in-field data collection, WinField United Canada is proud to offer a resource that empowers better decisions for today and tomorrow.
