Doebler's Top Seven
by Willard Jones
I’m Willard Jones, Doebler sales manager, with my top picks.
We sell 30 corn hybrids at
Doebler’s. “But what seven would
you recommend first?” I’m asked.
That’s not easy. Soil, manage
ment, weather would come into
play here.
Three-ways got lot of thought
early on. During the fall sale they
sell for $l7 less than super singles.
And some years they really
crowd’em on yields.
It wasn’t easy to pass over 48X,
a three time winner in Penn State
Commercial Corn Trials.
Or the big healthy 70X-C with
its big ears and rank growth.
Here are my top picks. Seven
proven bin busters. Healthy.
Consistent. Great standup.
All bred and tested right here in
the East. And every one a winner:
HERE'S HOW I PICK 'EM
DOEBLER 84XP, 118 days. A top
choice—grain or silage. Big ears
means big yields. Like 191.4
bushels this fall in a Maryland
strip test. Big tonnage fills silo
quick. Excellent standup. Healthy.
Superior drought rating.
DOEBLER 75X, 113 days. Still
our top seller. And for good reason.
Dozens of 200 bushel yields,
including a record 281.6 bu. in PA
Five Acre Corn Club. Silage? Old
reliable also holds Virginia’s silage
mark. Great stalks.
DOEBLER 66XP, 103 days. A super
sheller. No. 2 yield in Cornell’s
1988 Medium Maturity Trials, 4.6
and 16.2 bu. head of other'6oo
series hybrids in our first strip
test results this fall. Shrugs off
blight. Easy shelter.
DOEBLER 57XP, 97 days. Poppet
199 bu. in Cornell’s Medium Earl
Maturity Trials last year, buried
old 58X by 19 bu. Two recent
yields over 225. My choice north
of Route 80. Extra oomph pays
off in thin stands and poorer soils
DOEBLER 54XP, 95 days. Great
early corn in full season country.
Starts quick and stays green. Dari
green, that is. Standup outstanding
Solid 202 bu. in ’BB Cornell
Medium Early Trials, or 15 bu.
better than Pioneer’s best.
DOEBLER 35XP, 83 days. Bill
Camerer has made case for the
new 33XP. But don’t forget this
baby. It outslugged 48XE 161.3 to
152.3 bu. in recent tests with 1%
less moisture and 5% less down
com. Great choice in early country.
DOEBLER 28XP, 78 days. Now
you have it. A big sheller for earl
high country. Healthy. Sturdy
stalks. 141 bu. in ’BB Cornell
trials, five more bushels and five
less points moisture than 48XE.
Class of our 200 series.
