But we still have a limited supply of the same Doebler 75X that Larry Baron used in Luzerne County, PA to shatter Pennsylvania’s all time corn record. And by a whopping 33.7 bushels. Doebler’s 75X is a 113-day single cross. We also have some great shelling cousins of 75X ready to go to work in shorter season country. All bred for the East. All tested at our seven Eastern research stations. 281.6 bushels official. Larry entered the champion field in the Pennsylvania Five Acre Contest sponsored by the Penn State Extension Service and the Pennsylvania Master Corn Growers Association. And what a finish 21,542 plants per acre, with 99.1% stand up. Ears weighed close to 16 ounces. Moisture October 15 a low 22%. Many plants with two ears. And the big numbers, 281.6 bushels of dry shelled corn per acre corrected to 15.5% moisture. The Luzerne County dairyman gave Doebler 75X a good start by plowing down an old alfalfa stand top dressed with manure. Two hundred pounds of 8-24-8 went in the row. Another 200 pounds of actual N was side dressed in two applications. Bladex plus atrazine controlled weeds. But that’s only half the story. Larry Baron grows only Doebler’s. And look at the yields on the whole crop. In 1981, he averaged 137 bushels on 178 acres of Doebler’s hybrids. By actual yield checks. In 1986, he did 29 bushels better. Or 166 bushels per acre on 174 acres. Baron goes heavy with three numbers. Doebler’s 75X, the 113-day all time champ. Doebler’s 70XSS, a 111-day single cross with many 200 plus yields in its record. And Doebler’s 65X, a 103-day single cross that averaged 161.1 bushels last year in 22 farm trials. Your local Doebler dealer can help you pick a winner for your farm. The price just might surprise you. Philip E. Myer, Crawford County, Doebler’s 38X—151.2 bu.
