    How to limit crop risk
by Willard Jones
I'm Willard Jones, Doebler’s sales manager, taking the conservative approach.
I’m conservative when it comes
to investing money. Or buying
seed corn.
So I buy certificates of deposit.
And I think real estate for a long
term investment. It’s a matter of
limiting my risk.
Same principle holds for seed
corn. Best low risk buys, in my
mind, are hybrids that always
finish among the leaders. In wet
weather or dry. Hot weather or
cold. On deep or shallow soils.
Like Doebler’s Extra
Performance hybrids with mile
long printouts of test results made
right here in the East.
And never under estimate old
favorites like Doebler 75X. That
old super champ is driving the
competition crazy.
Here are my picks. Mostly
established stars.
