User flagged LG, AgriGold, and Ebbert's (local Ohio breeder) are
all active in farmer territory. Built three scrapers — corpus now
covers 5,839 chunks across 11 brands.
Net new varieties: 310
lg_seeds 170 — corn 78 + soy 63 + alfalfa 16 + sorghum 13
→ adds FIRST alfalfa coverage (FD 3-5 range)
agrigold 111 — corn 60 + soy 51
ebberts_seeds 29 — corn 17 + soy 12 (regional OH/IN breeder)
scrape/sources/lg_seeds.py — embedded-JSON pattern (cleanest):
- /products/<crop> pages have a `var products = [...]` blob with the
variety summary (Variety, Maturity, Traits[], Bullets[], CropType).
- Per-variety detail page (/products/<crop>/<Variety>) carries the
ratings as `<span class="bar-N">` where N is 1-9 on the canonical
scale. Same 9=best direction as Bayer / Golden Harvest.
- Three sections per page: Characteristics / Management / Disease
Tolerance, plus a few qualitative bars ("Tar Spot Susceptible",
"Fungicide Response High") preserved as text values.
scrape/sources/agrigold.py — 5-circle scale:
- Listing page has 60+ /corn/explore-corn-hybrids/<CODE> URLs.
- Detail page renders ratings as <div class="scale"> blocks with 5
child <div class="circle"> elements, of which N have class
"circle selected" → rating N on a 1-5 scale.
- 7 sections per page incl. Silage Characteristics (Dairy Silage
Rating, NDFd 30 Hr, Crude Protein), Planting Applications, Soil
Adaptability, Plant Characteristics, Product Features.
- Distinct rating direction (1-5 vs Bayer's 1-9) — declared in
_scale_direction so chunker preamble renders correctly.
scrape/sources/ebberts_seeds.py — small regional breeder, verbatim
text approach:
- Single page per crop (corn / soybeans / wheat). Each variety is an
<h1> + multi-section CSS-grid block where labels and values are in
separate adjacent cells. Reconstructing perfectly-aligned columns
for a 29-variety total isn't worth the engineering — chunk body
carries the verbatim text in document order, LLM can read the
tabular content.
- Scale: 1-5 (1 = best, lower = more resistant), inferred from
marketing-vs-rating cross-checks ("Robust tall plants" + STANDABILITY
1.0 → 1 = best).
- Politeness: robots.txt asks for Crawl-delay: 5; honored.
All three new scrapers smoke-tested:
- LG corn LG5701 RM 116 SmartStax → 3 characteristic groups with
Disease Tolerance ratings (Northern/Southern Leaf Blight 8-9, etc.)
- AgriGold A616-30 RM 86 VT2RIB → 7 groups incl. silage and soil
adaptability ratings
- Ebbert's 7000TR RIB RM 100 → 1098-char verbatim body covering
CHARACTERISTICS, DISEASE RATINGS, herbicide tolerance, etc.
Corpus state after this PR:
- 5,839 chunks (was 5,529)
- 11 brands (was 8)
- 8 crops (corn 3047, soy 2209, silage 359, wheat 123, sorghum 49,
cotton 30, alfalfa 16, canola 6) — alfalfa is brand-new

Variety detail (verbatim from page)
6883DGVT2P RIB 113 RM | 6883DGVT2P RIB 113 RM | MANAGEMENT & POSITIONING | Relative maturity is an early 113 RM. Delivers tons a TOP-END YIELD and works well in all yield environments and soil types. Medium to high recommended plant populations will respond to higher populations. Responds well to foliar fungicide to maximize kernel depth and build extra bushels. | CHARACTERISTICS | The benchmark type product at 113 day that has lasted the test of time. A+ ratings for yield, drydown, and overall plant agronomics. Countless wins in third party testing and customer side by side tests. Maintains performance under stress, very consistent through the field. Medium-statured plants with great season-long standability. | CHARACTERISTICS | EMERGENCE | DRYDOWN | STANDABILITY | TEST WEIGHT | EAR TYPE | 2.0 | 2.0 | 1.5 | 1.5 | Flex | DISEASE RATINGS | HERBICIDE TOLERANCE(S) | RECOMMENDED SEEDING RATE | GDU'S TO BLACK LAYER | STALK STRENGTH | ROOT STRENGTH | STRESS TOLERANCE | GREENSNAP RISK | PLANT HEIGHT | STAYGREEN | HARVEST APPEARANCE | NORTHERN CORN LEAF BLIGHT | GRAY LEAF SPOT | TAR SPOT | GLY | 33-38 | 2790 | 1.5 | 1.0 | 1.0 | 3.0 | Medium | 3.0 | 2.0 | 2.0 | 2.0 | 4.0 | Corn Traits | PowerCore® Enlist® Corn PowerCore® trait technology delivers superior control of above-ground insects in corn. | SmartStax® RIB Complete® Corn Blend is a mix of 95% Bt. traited, 5% refuge seed. You get all the benefits of SmartStax® technology, plus the convenience of 5% refuge seed interspersed in every bag. It has proven to have a 10 bu/A advantage over non-Bt. traited corn and a 20 bu/A advantage over non-Bt. treated corn + a soil-applied insecticide. | In moderate to high rootworm pressure situations, SmartStax® RIB Complete® corn blend products provided an average 20 bu/acre advantage over products without Bt corn rootworm protection and an average 10 bu/acre advantage over products without Bt corn rootworm protection used in combination with a soil-applied insecticide. TD Sites in IL, IA, KS, CO, NE, WI, MI, IN, MN, SD, OH, DE (2010-2013)100-112RM; N = 46 protocol site years under moderate and high CRW pressure. Moderate Pressure = untreated check averaged > 0.5-1.0. High Pressure = locations where untreated check averaged >1.0. | Trecepta® RIB Complete® technology contains Cry1A.105, Cry2Ab2 and Vip3Aa20 from B.t. that together controls European corn borer, southwestern corn borer, southern cornstalk borer, corn earworm, fall armyworm, stalk borer, sugarcane borer, beet armyworm, true armyworm, black cutworm, western bean cutworm, lesser cornstalk borer and dingy cutworm. Products containing this technology also contain Roundup Ready® 2 Technology that provides tolerance to in-crop applications of labeled glyphosate herbicides when applied according to label directions. | DroughtGard® Hybrids with VT Double PRO® RIB Complete® Corn Blend contain the first double-stacked trait with dual modes of action for above ground insects and maximum protection against corn earworm. Superior genetics along with innovative drought-tolerant trait technology helps DroughtGard® Hybrids withstand drought conditions for a better chance of maximizing kernels per ear and overall yield potential. | <script src="http://www.bhgenetics.com.php72-38.lan3-1.websitetestlink.com/wp-content/themes/bhgenetics/js/base.js"></script> | Google tag (gtag.js) | window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer | []; function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);} gtag('js', new Date()); gtag('config', 'G-XVB34E6588'); | 6840 North St. Rt 48 | Covington, OH 45318 | (937) 473-2521 | [email protected] | © 2026 Ebberts Field Seeds Inc. | Home | Corn | Soybeans | Wheat | About Us | Seed Guides | Contact Home Office | Contact Branch Office | Ebberts Seed Dealers | Legal | Products | Corn | Soybeans | Wheat | Cover Crops | Grass Seed | Forages | Cover Crops | About Us | Seed Guides | Yield Performance | Yield Performance 2021 | Contact Us | Contact Home Office | Contact Branch Office | Ebberts Seed Dealers | END .x-site | END .x-root | (function () { var c = document.body.className; c = c.replace(/woocommerce-no-js/, 'woocommerce-js'); document.body.className = c; })(); | / / | / / | / Sorry you do not have any products to compare.<\/p>\n
