“We tried Hardy Brand com...
“ We’ve never seen
any better corn.”
Tom Seibert
Bay Diehl Term
Bolling Springs, PA
“I’ll tell you right now, It
wouldn’t be planted on this
farm if it wouldn’t yield, there’s
no two ways about that. 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."

“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."
