Masters Choice 61S
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.

Additional Masters Choice Hybrids with Excellent Standability
MC 605 Q -114 days. A high stress performer with some natural tolerance to corn borer.
It has moderately soft kernels at silo filling time. Widely adapted to different soil types and
planting populations. Will produce more than one ear if conditions are good. Great stand
ability. If planted below 18,000, it usually produces 2 ears per stalk.
MC 564 -112 days. New for 2004. A high yielding grain variety. Excellent plant health and
standability. Also easy to hand shuck and shell.
MC 530 - 105 days. A high stress performer with high sugars. It tassels and pollinates
about 5 days earlier than similar maturity hybrids. Excellent standability.
MC 520 Q - 102 days. Similar to 615, but shorter season. In addition to all the positive
traits of MC 615, it also has the added benefit of some natural tolerance to com borer.

The secret to Masters 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.
