Developing Corn Hybrids For Adverse Conditions

Chuck Zimmerman

It is the 6th year for the Wyffels Hybrids Corn Strategies road show. We’re sitting in a comfortable tent in a corn field. Can’t find a better place to hold a conference like this.

I visited with Bill Wyffels, President, to find out what’s new from Wyffels. He says they’ve introduced thirteen new corn hybrids from 96 to 117 day relative maturity and numerous products that have all the refuge built into the seed bag. Bill says they make sure they’ve got the best genetics for farmers to choose from to help them during challenging growing conditions like we’ve seen again this year in the corn belt. He says that for years they’ve been developing hybrid technology that allows plants to better withstand adverse conditions.
