Market: Steady. Make Hardy Brand® your hybrid. On the Lawrence County. Pa., dairy farm of Tom McConahy Sr. and Jr., Hardy Brand hybrids have been part of the summer landscape for the past 20 years. And the father-son team likes the view. "It’s always nice and green and it stands heavy," Tom Jr. said. "Some people have said, My gosh, I never saw corn like that. " The McConahys plant their 300 acres of corn exclusively with Hardy Brand, using 301 XS and 370 XS for ear corn and the new 760 XS for silage. They figure their shelled corn yield equivalent at 125 to 140 bushels per acre. In addition to performing well in the field. Hardy Brand continues to do the job after the harvest according to Tom Jr. "Hardy corn dries down good," he said. “And one crib of corn was so clean for husking ... that shows the quality of the crop.” The bottom line for the McConahys is the performance of the 160 cows and 100 head of young stock in the barns. "If we don't get a good yield from our corn, then they don't eat" Tom Sr. said. "So far. they've been eating well." Hardy Brand Hybrid Corns are varieties for these times, when reduced acreage and slimmer profit margins are your big concerns.
