Probably shouldn't of said it was cheap. It was just cheaper then the seed we usually plant. The seed was planted in good conditions. Had moisture below and above the seed. Most of the seed was bt corn so I don't think bugs should've been a concern. The plain round up seed right next to it actually came up a little better. The only thing we can come up with it was germ tested in December of 2014 it had 95% then. Does it even matter on corn if it a year old or more?
