You’ll Get
Higher Test
Weights With
Hoffman 89
It’s a fact. In 1989 and
1990 trials conducted by the
Pennsylvania State Univer
sity, Hoffman 89 wheat
topped the field everytime.
In Centre County, its
two-year average test
weight of 58.4 Ib/bu beat
the average by 3.5 Ib/bu.
And in Lancaster County,
Hoffman 89 posted an av
erage 54.8 Ib/bu test weight
compared to a field average
of 51.0.
With test weights like
these, you’ll get full price
for every bushel of wheat
you produce. And that’s
money in the bank. Talk to
your Hoffman sales repre
sentative today, or call
