RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC – December 19, 2025
Thousands of growers and retailers participated in the 2025 Real Results Yield Challenge, the largest nationwide comparison plots program by BASF. While most participants enjoyed the benefits of consistent performance, increased yield and a stronger ROI from BASF fungicides, three farmers also walked away with an early holiday surprise: a two-year lease on a 2025 Ford® Super Duty® F-250® Lariat®.
Congratulations to the winners: Danny Schnexnayder, Barry Stauffer, and John Thevis.
- Scale: 1,800 farmers and 300 retailers from 30 states participated.
- Products Tested: Veltyma®, Revytek®, and Revylok® fungicides were tested against untreated plots or competitors.
- Real Yields: Winner John Thevis achieved a 4 bu/A advantage on his soybean acres with Revylok.
“In today’s challenging agriculture economy, you have to maximize your yield, and Revylok definitely brings yield to the table,” said John Thevis. “With the tough commodity pricing we’re facing today, fungicide application is an investment. And Revylok returned on that investment.”
Despite pressures like disease and financial constraints, participating farmers demonstrated the critical role BASF fungicides play in enhancing ROI. These outcomes set the stage for an even bigger challenge in 2026.
