George Jacques, President i Owner "Several years ago I had a great idea for reducing farmer seed com costs. Unfor- tunately that idea wasn’t practical for a large seed company. In 19851 left Jacques Seed Company.. .a company I led for 27 years ..and formed an entirely new kind of seed company. George's Seeds was launched to fulfill my idea. Since 1985 we have been selling high producing single cross hybrids which are comparable to those offered by the major seed companies. .only at a much lower price.''

George's Seeds, in conjunction with 40 other seed companies, and FMC, funded a cooperative research program to determine the cause of the widespread soybean herbi cide carryover problem that showed up in many corn fields this year. The study showed that the herbicide damage was more pronounced in hybrids produced using certain female lines as the seed parents. We now know which female seed parentlines have shown the best resistance and can help you select hybrids that will perform best following soybeans. Your George's Seeds dealer will be more than happy to share this information with you and help you avoid this new problem. Join the company that's changing the way seed com Is sold.

Viewed by visitors until his death. Bell was always _ recognized for his structurally im pressive Excellent (93) frame; soundness that never faltered. It is only appropriate that he be buried where fiiture visitors can view his memorial while observing his numerous sons and grandsons in Select’s facilities. Bell built a legacy which will endure well into the next century. He now has 662 proven sons which average +s92 Protein with +772 PTA Milk. Ninety-eight per cent of his sons are plus proven for protein. The best of these are in A.I. organizations all around the TOLLFREE State Zip Lancaster Farming, Saturday, November 25,1989-Al9 world. The very elite Bell sons, such as Applenotch Jack Daniels. Emprise Bell Elton, Eric-Dew Quietcove Micheal, Art-Acres Bell Pontiac, Wardin Bell Gene, and Ripvalley NA Bell Troy, are being used as the sires of future proven sires. Daughters of Bell have long dominated the USDA high index cow list Many of these elite cows are the dams of future genetically superior sons. Bell’s current USDA Summary contains 64,656 daughters, and that number is exceeded only by his former stablemate, Marshfield Elevation Tony with 68,059 USDA daughters. Bell’s tested daughters are in 12,196 herds. Af ter all this time, and with all these daughters. Bell’s PTAM on the “Animal Model” is +1538 lbs. and PTAF is +54 lbs. He was way ahead of his 'time on protein pro duction, being +0.2%P and 55 IbsJP for a dollar value protein of +sl79. His 29,847 classified daughters in 7389 herds give him a PTAT of +1.07 and an Udder Composite of +.64.
