Make Hardy Brand® your hybrid.
Make every kernel count.
"Hardy corn is great! It
does a great Job of
husking, and it's always
nice and green, and it
stands well. Our 300
acres are all Hardy. Why.
some folks say. my
gosh, I never saw corn
like that!'"

"Hardy comes out on
top compared to the
others. Hardy 760 XS Is
a good shelling com,
yields terrific and stands
great. The 370 XS short
season is a tall corn,
and shells so easy, you
can hardly hear it go
through the combine."
Dave Moore
Boonsboro. MD
“I've been with Hardy
for 10 years. We get a
lot longer grain with
Hardy 370 XS, and it
really shells great. And
Hardy has a better stalk
than most I've seen. It’s
great looking com. why
it really sells itself!"
