I used to grow 100% Pioneer. Switched from Dekalb in the mid 1980s. I had it go down two years in a row. Had great luck with Pioneer for years until about 10 years ago. Once the company sold, the seed is just over priced and has had standing issues. I tried several brands for several years there. With Golden Harvest Being the best for a lot of years in there.
I then had a field that just would not grow good corn. I soil tested and applied lime. I spread more manure to get the organic matter up. Nothing was working. Then a local feed salesman was at the farm. We where talking about how that one field just was not growing right. He sold Channel seed. He called and got one of their agronomist to come out and look at the field. HE figured out that I had an out break of Goss's Wilt. So I bought some Goss's Wilt resistant seed off of Channel. It grew real well. I slowly switched more acres to Channel. Two years ago we had a wide spread out break of Goss's wilt. The resistant Channel beat every other Brand we raised, My son's included. This last year I only bought Channel. My average yield was the best I have raised so far.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
