Start every day feeling g00d...
with the best from Rink.
Come next summer, you’ll know you’ve made a wise manage
ment decision. You'll be growing hybrids with a reputation
for delivering what farmers want - consistent high yields.
That’s exactly what you can expect from these hybrids.
New G-4326. Strong overall performance puts this
100-105 hybrid in the must-plant category for many farmers.
It offers competitive yields for its early maturity
along with strong stalks and easy harvesting.
New G-4440. Several years of testing prove
G-4440 can yield right up at the top of its 110
day class. It’s been delivering this high perfor
