Product lineup

A hybrid that excels in the challenging and stressful farms of North Dakota and northern Minnesota. A strong defensive choice in multi-hybrid planting operations for good yield separation in low-end yield environments. A solid, robust plant with outstanding root strength that builds a girthy, semi-determined ear that responds to above average to higher seeding rates in higher yield environments. Good Goss’ Wilt defense and drought tolerance make an excellent western choice. Good stalk quality both in season and late season for solid standability coupled with good drydown in the field and very good test weight.

A complete confidence, all-purpose hybrid with excellent yield separation in 120-240 bushels per acre yield environments. Great choice for early planting dates and reduced tillage. Has tremendous emergence ability and stand establishment. Plant it central and northern areas for maturity. Medium-tall plant height with very good stalk strength, root strength and tolerance to greensnap. Will respond to medium-high seeding rates with a girthy ear-type (18-20 rows around). A confident hybrid for late season standability. Is one of those special hybrids you could plant the entire farm with.

We know it has the agronomics, but the yield punch is incredible. Very high and consistent yields in its element of southern Iowa and south half of Illinois. A compact plant that has a broad stance with canopy and deep, rich color. Is simply a sugar factory. A girthy, yet semi-determined ear will excel with higher seeding rates. The overall stress tolerance, particularly the ability to withstand heat and longer periods without rainfall make a strong, yet high-performing hybrid for the central corn belt and mid-south.
