X “ OHIO & PENNSYLVANIA’S
V"y BEST SEED CORN
Ten Questions!
Before you begin making decisions for 2002
• How many years in the last ten did drought limit your corn yield?
• Have you been able to recover in the good years what you lost in
the others?
• Are mid-western hybrids suited to your Pennsylvania soils?
• Is early vigor as important in Pennsylvania as in Iowa?
• What is REALLY more important, bushels per acre or dollars per
acre?
•Are th» big seed corn companies listening to you or just selling
you what they have to offer in the mid-west?
• How can this year’s crop affect next year’s crop?
• Why are the small regional seed companies continuing to grow
while the large seed/chemical mega-companies losing market
share?
• Have you ever had a hand in selecting which hybrids would be
offered to you in the next season?
• Would you like to hear more 9??
