I have a local seed grower/dealer that's been in business over 50 years. While they get the new traits from a big company, they have always produced their own seed lines of corn.
It is very good corn, it stands _very_ well, it yields as well or better than the Dekalb & Mycrogen corn I compare it to in my test plots, and it stands much better than any Pioneer grown around here. Only thing I give up is moisture - the local company's corn can be 2% more moisture, which is noticable in a fall like this one. My soils are very clay, peat, muck, alkili (sp?) and ear drop and stalk strength is a _very_ important issue for me in my conditions, and this small company has done very well for me year in & year out - they have a very tough, high yielding corn that fits my conditions well.
Last year the RR corn was under $150 a bag to me.
I haven't checked prices this year - I alway go pick it up & pay for it in April, a week or 2 before I plant it. They don't get into pushy sales, & I can go to the 'factory' 25 miles away & pick it up & pay for it when I want. My dad bought from their dad back in the day. Nice family to deal with, with a good product with good value.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
