THESE DOEBLER HYBRIDS ARE READY TO GO TO WORK FOR YOU By Willard Jones I’m Willard Jones, Doebler sales manager, Yes, we still have seed corn to sell. Including most of our top favorites. But let’s start off with some hard facts: 1. Midwest seed companies got burned by the searing drought. So seed corn is tight. Everywhere. Many firms are patching up supplies with winter crops in places like Florida, Arizona and Texas. Doebler lucked out. Seed corn in the field here ... or already dried and weighed . . . just about equals 110% of last vear’s sales. To prevent run on bank, Doebler dealers have been given quotas on all super single cross hybrids. If he has it, you got it. 3. Prices will be higher. Believe it. Most seed companies must charge more just to break even. Doebler prices are $1 to $1.50 a bushel more than last winter and spring. But we still give cash and volume discounts through Nov. 12. So savings can be big. You’ll pay less than $56 for Doebler 75X, 89XC and other commercial single crosses this fail is you take 10% cash discount and buy 50 bushels or more. You got the word from Bill Camerer last week on eight new hybrids. Here’s the best of the rest: DOEBLER 89X-C, 120 days. Old reliable popped 184.4 bu. last year at East Earl, PA.

Here are three tips to save you grief in 1989: Order immediately to lock in prices and favorite numbers. If corn acres expand as expected, all seed companies could come up short.
