It has to produce the bushels, or we’re not going to fool with it. Last year we averaged 130 bushels on our total acreage. I like the 608 XS. It yields right with all the fuller season corns, even though it’s a short er season corn. It dries down and we can get started sooner. For shelling, I think it’s Ideal.” “It’s clean-lmsking and stands nice.” “The hardy 301 XS has come up real nice, stood real good in the Fall, and picked clean. The size of the ears was good and some other brands picked a lot harder...that’s one reason I like Hardy corn. This year I’ve got some 870 XS, and I don’t think it could be any more perfect. It’s taking the dry weather real good. And the4O3XS performed well. It really threw the ears in the wagon. The bln filled up, and that’s what you’re looking for." ...and we like See your local Hardy Brand dealer, or contact: “For a Hardy Stand use Hardy Brand” Standard 42.0052.50; SI. cows: Utility & Commercial 35.8549.25; Cutters 33.7546.75; Canner & L.

"...exceptionally good tonnage.” Bud Holmes PenUtrTanni Hanover, PA “The 802 X has been a real good silage corn for us. We’ve gotten 21 Va tons to the acre, and it’s good quality, with a lot of grain to it. I’ve had 301 XS and It did real good—terrific ear, and it yielded good too. And the4O3XS looks terrific right now. This year I tried another brand, and I’m not going back to it, cause it’s the only place where I’ve got this ‘up and down’ corn. I’m staying with Hardy corn." it!"
