Subject: Re: Funk's seed corn



I believe there's a little confusion here. Funk Seeds & Funk's G were two different seed companys Ibelieve due to a split from FunK Bros. Funk was locatated in Kentland IN and is now Frontiersman. Funk's G was bought out by Ciba-Giegy When they closed the Rockville, IN facility a lot of equipment was bought by Hubner Seeds in West Lebanon, IN. Some of the breeders & others left Funk's G and help start Golden Harvest. Ciba & GH were later bought by Syengenta.

My Uncle sold Funks G for 40 yrs. It was a good corn with excelent tw & yield. However in the mid '70s they began to have stalk issues. Last yr I planted any was in 1977. Pioneerdealer had given me 4 bags to try that yr. We had a big hailstorm on Sept 30th. Fub=nks G wascompletely flat. Pioneer planted next to it in a planter side by side was over 80% standing.
