Four independent regional brands across IA/IN/IL (variety-identity sources,
each parsed into structured characteristics_groups so ratings embed):
- latham (264: 155 corn + 109 soy) — Latham Hi-Tech Seeds, Alexander IA.
WordPress REST enum (/wp-json/wp/v2/varieties) + /products/<slug>/ detail
HTML. Scale 1-9 LOWER=better (reversed, like NK/AgriPro).
- stine (217: 58 corn + 159 soy) — Stine Seed, Adel IA (largest US
independent). sitemap enum + /{crop}/traits/<slug>/<code>/ detail HTML.
Corn 1-9 (9=best); soy qualitative.
- first_choice (78: 52 corn + 22 soy + 4 wheat) — 1st Choice Seeds,
Rushville IN (employee-owned). Per-crop sitemap -> detail HTML. Scale
0-10 higher=better. ~40 older corn pages thin at source; wheat
identity-only.
- burrus (64: 38 corn + 26 soy) — Burrus Seed, Arenzville IL. Seedware
JSON API. Scale 1-10 (10=best). Brands Burrus/Power Plus/DONMARIO.
robots ai-train=no + named-bot blocks; operator opted in, scraper uses a
non-blacklisted UA + honors Crawl-delay 10.
All 623 validated through rag.chunk.chunks_from_variety (0 errors; 6
identity-only pages from source gaps). No chunk.py change needed (identity
sources auto-route to chunks_from_variety).
Docs:
- sources.json: 4 entries + Hoegemeyer added to _excluded_sources. The
Corteva ToU (shared across pioneer.com / hoegemeyer.com / therightseed.com
/ corteva.com + the Vylor spinoff) bans scrapers + competitive use, so the
whole Corteva family is one excluded ToU domain.
- docs_mcp/lessons.md: rating-scales updated with all 4 directions +
an explicit cross-vendor warning (Latham 1=best vs Stine/Burrus higher=best
— never compare raw numbers without _scale_direction).
- README + CLAUDE corpus inventory: now 2,268 variety + 6,787 trial records.
CI rebuilds the index from the committed corpus.

- Maturity group: 1.7
- Trait(s): Enlist E3
- Source: https://www.lathamseeds.com/products/l-1758-e3/
- Rating scale: numeric ratings ~1-9 where LOWER = BETTER (1 = best / most tolerant / most resistant); confirmed by cross-referencing Product Overview prose vs values (top-rated stalks/roots cluster 1.0-1.5, weak traits 3.0-3.5, none approach 9).

- Service area: Latham dealer network — Upper Midwest (IA/MN/WI/IL/ND/SD/NE)
Heres an exciting Enlist E3 soybean that features SCN protection from PI 88788, the Rps1-k gene for Phytophthora and test-topping yield potential! Emergence and standability are excellent and the White Mold and Iron Chlorosis scores are very good. This soybean will work very well from South Dakota, across Minnesota and into Wisconsin. It also moves south very well into northern Iowa. Avoid placing in fields with severe Brown Stem Rot infestations.
