KEEP MOVING
FORWARD WITH
YIELD-PROVED HYDRIDS
FROM P-R-B
Your corn yields have come a long way in the past ten
years. But the best is still ahead—if you can keep costs
in line and yields growing.
How? We say start with proven hybrids that are right for
your soil, your climate, your way of handling corn. Start
with P-A-G hybrids. We call them The Successful Ones
because they’ve proven their worth in tough field tests
on farms like yours.
P-A-G’s SPECIAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Special Cross, P-A-G 399
This three-way cross rivals the best single crosses for
yield. With populations up to 22,000 you can depend
on excellent seedling vigor and good standability. You’ll
appreciate 399’s easy harvesting.
Special Cross, SX 29
Popular single cross that’s bred for the farmer who’s
willing to go all out for yields. Plant at populations
from 16,000 to 24,000. Ideal for narrow rows. Has
ability to use high fertility and available moisture.
Double Cross, P-A-G 395
This hybrid is very flexible as to soil type and fertility.
It offers good seedling vigor and standabihty at popu
lations from 16,000 to 21,000, Recommended for nar
row rows. Produces excellent yields.
Your P-A-G dealer has complete details about all of
The Successful Ones. Including special crosses and
four-way crosses. See him soon.
