New Northrup King
(Continued from Page D 6)
The company also intrpdufeda
unique replant policy. Basically it
will provide replant seed at 50 per
cent of retail cost no matter what
company’s com was originally
planted. The power behind this
aggressive replant program is The
New Northrup King’s wide range
of hybrids, since a farmer who has
to replant has highly specific seed
needs depending upon his geogra
phy, climatic conditions and
remaining growing season.
Another program is an extensive
plot information computer system
which allows farmers to compare
performance of The New Northrup
King hybrids under specific man
agement regimes. In the past,
hybrid comparisons have been
largely by geography and perhaps
climatic conditions. However, this
new service will compare all these
factors plus a variety of manage-

program will be offered after data
from more than 2,500 product

this fall and added to two years’
previous data from the three
companies.
In addition to its ongoing market
research, top management has
formed a service task force to iden
tify areas for improved or new ser
vices. The task force is comprised
of a cross section of the company’s
employees. Dealer advisory
boards have also been created to
advise managementof dealer and
customer needs in the area of seeds
and service. And, all of the new
marketing unit’s sales force will
participate in customer service
seminars, this year.

Refrigeration greatly extends the
life of fresh fruit and vegetables.
By slowing the metabolism of the
stored products, refrigeration
maintains eating quality so well
that fresh produce is available
throughout the year. However,
successful, long term storage
requires skillful operation and
proper equipment. Most fruits and
vegetables must be stored at very
high humidities to keep them from
