I try every yr too get some dekalb that is apples to apples with pioneer... Around my neck of the woods DeKalb is really proud of there seed corn.. I think the past 2 yrs there is 30 to 35 dollars per bag more for the dekalb. trait for trait.. Po157, po506, po339 is a tough corn to beat the past 2 seasons....
Takes 4 bu to make that up with $3.50 corn. Dekalb beats Pioneer by that plus more here. Guys get so worked up over a few dollars up front but get hosed on the back end. Would I rather pay less for seed well of course. But I can run a calculator and if the more expensive seed covers the higher price plus more then I'm planting it. Might be different in your neck of the woods but Dekalb etc are worth paying more for here. |
