How do I know how Producers Hybrids will perform in my area?
There are a few great ways to see how Producers Hybrids products will perform on your farm. On our Yield Results Tool, you can sort down by location and even hybrid to see how particular products performed near year. Our Plot Map Tool allows you to see where plots are so you can watch them progress throughout the year. If you want to meet your local dealer, you could find a Plot Day or Farm Show happening near you by checking out our Events page. Or, send us a quick note and we will make sure your local dealer follows up and shows you products that will perform on your farm.
When should I switch to an earlier hybrid?
If planting gets delayed, you may consider switching to an earlier hybrid. Although this decision may vary depending on the region you live in, there are a few things to keep in mind when making this important decision including:
- The average frost date in the fall (this will affect the number of days you can collect GDUs to get the corn plant to maturity).
- The amount of GDUs a hybrid typically needs to reach physiological maturity (black layer) will change when planted later in the season.
