as well as the Corn Belt. Big, showy ears on fast-growing
plants make it a roadside eye catcher.
G-4594. Wide adaptability and performance under heat
and drought make G-4594 a wise addition to anyone’s com
program. You’ll really like its large, girthy ears...and the
way it stands tough through harvesting.
Three of the best. There’s no better way to start
every day.
