Minnesota | This is not true, if so P numbers would have less GDU's to maturity by a longshot as it takes about 120 to get a corn hybrid out of the ground. I find Pioneer's GDU's to be dead on in assessments and often use them as a basis of comparison. For example, I've seen 2 hybrids have the same GDU's but Pioneer will call it a 105 day and company B calls it a 101 day but the GDU's to maturity are the same. If everyone would pay attention to GDU's and not RM, you will find you can more accurately place and compare hybrids. In the example I gave above, a person would likely be disappointed with the Pioneer number because it was significantly wetter and doesn't dry down. You could also say the opposite where if you bought company B's and put a 101 day Pioneer side by side with it, you might be disappointed in the dry down of Company B's corn. GDU's to maturity are the best way to know what it takes to get to the finish line, the CRM does take into account drydown, as some hybrids just shed moisture much quicker. | |
