No, we can’t offer you a name as big as Pioneer’s. But we can offer some better performing hybrids,
like 7820 and 8350. Fact is, three years of our on-farm, side-by-side comparisons show Jacques' 7820 seed
corn outyields Pioneer- brand 3352 seed corn by an average of 9.7 bushels/acre and Jacques 8350 out yields
Pioneer- brand 3184 by an average of 7.9 bushels/acre. These averages reflect all trials, not just selected
data.
And you won’t have to sacrifice confidence. Jacques unique hybrids are backed by decades of
extensive research and repeated field tests against our toughest competitors.
In fact, research and follow-up competitive performance evaluations have always been top priorities
at Jacques.
Jacques is also involved in one of the largest seed-related biotechnology programs in the world.
So you see, Jacques can give you the advantages of a much bigger seed company ... only we won’t
charge extra for a big name.

Twice in one week “Jadene
Very Rae” was named Grand
Champion at major shows. The
senior two year old look first place
in her class August 26 at the NW
Pa. Holstein show and then
stepped out to claim senior and
grand champion honors. Just four
days earlier the picture was the
same in Huntingdon at the Central
Championship Show. “We’re
quite proud of her. It’s not often a
two year old gets Grand, and at two
shows that size,” said Ed Doeber
iener. Doeberiener of Queens-
Manor Holsteins in Jamestown,
Pa. recently purchased the cow in
partnership with Steve Hoover of
Martmsburg, and Robert Gavin of
Kansas. The VG-86 is projected at
over 20,000 milk and 850 fat in
305 days. Although fresh since
March 28th she also won Best
Udder of the Show at the Crawford
County fair last week.
The Grand Championship made
the sixth consecutive year that
Queens-Manor has taken the ban
ner home. Eight blue ribbons also
gave Premier Exhibitor honors to
Queens-Manor making five years
in a row for that award.
Morrell Farms of Cochranton
also had quite a day. Dennis Pat
rick of Woodbine, Maryland
judged the show and pulled “Ebe-
Tide Libido Poppy” into first
place in the aged cow division. She
went on to be reserve grand
champion and also was the “Best
Bred and Owned” at the show.
The Brookfield Elevation Libido
daughter is EX-90 and as a six year
old milked 20,629 milk and 768 fat
and was Honorable Mention All
Pa. Aged Cow.
Morrells also had the Reserve
Champion Bull “Ebe-Tide M Jor
dan” who topped the junior year
ling bull class. This bull was the
Grand Champion at the Pa. Spring
Show this year in Harrisburg
according to Candy Morrell. These
Bigger Yields.
Jadene Wins
reserve championships along with
other first places helped Morrells
to acquire the Premier Breeder
award.
The Grand Champion Bull went
to the Sr. yearling bull owned by
Marlene Baxter of Stoncboro, Pa.
