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.

Pretty good deal.

Enjoy talking about seed choices with you.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga ...
