New Products Make Quite The Difference
Brian Kohlenberg (DSM, Region 1 – South Dakota)
Wow, it’s hard to believe that I’m in my 5th year working for Producers Hybrids. I really didn’t believe going to work could be so much fun until I joined the Producers family. Every day offers a new set of challenges, as is the case in any agriculture environment, but getting to work with such a great team of people at Producers makes my days seem short. I especially want to thank the many customers I have the privilege of doing business with each year. Great customers make selling corn a dream job!
In my area of NE South Dakota this year we saw an incredible amount of variation in corn yields. Some corn unfortunately was forced to be cut for silage with yields around 25 bu/ac, while other farms set new yield records. Mother Nature definitely did not play fair this year.
A few timely rains and soil type seemed to make huge differences in the final outcome. However, the vast amount of research in corn breeding over the past couple of decades has provided us with hybrids that seem to withstand many different growing environments. I don’t think we would have seen some of the great yields this year with corn hybrids from the 1980s or even early 90s. Every year we see new products in our line-up that improve upon the replaced products. Check out some of our key 90-100 day products such as 5144VT3PRIB, 5224VT3PRIB, 5514VT3PRIB, 5784VT3PRIB, and 5904VT3PRIB on our website at yourdealersite.thinkcaliber.com. Thanks again for all of your business!!
