8 DIFFERENT
HYBRIDS TAKE YIELD
HONORS IN THE EAST
From West Virginia to Maine,
NK hybrids have proved their
genetic superiority. Farmers with
different cropping objectives
and far different soil resources
planted NK hybrids and topped
all others in their states for yield.
This is typical of NK hybrid
performance in the East. They ~
were developed to give maxi
mum performance under vary
ing management and soil
conditions. So no matter which
NK hybrid you choose, you can
count on top performance -
because it's bred right in!
2nd PLACE WINNER IN VIRGINIA!
Charles E Smith, Jr of Warrenton won
with PX 74 and a yield of 141.22 bu/acr<
