A 115 day hybrid- Makes a sweet smelling, nutrient
dense silage with high grain content, and excellent
digestibility. Plant health is also excellent. Reports of
2002 and 2003 performance have been excellent.
Comments made by farmers include: excellent yields,
very few broken stalks, even after tropical storm Isabel
went through, very high levels of sugar (typically 4 to
6%), and great packing characteristics.
Note: In extreme wind, leaves were shredded, and stalks blown
over, but very few stalks were broken MC 615 has a dense, but
shorter stalk - usually shorter than most silage hybrids.

The secret to Master’s Choice standability and
great digestibility is less lignin, but much more digest
ible cellulose fiber. MC 615 and its short season half
sister MC 520 Q have thick, dense stalks that are not
only nutritious, but also yield outstanding for a corn
of average height.
