http://www.birdhybrids.com/ Bunny Bird is a real person and has raised the family while supporting Leon and the company. Both are very active in their church. Stacks are around $200, has some of the most unique genetics available especially in normal seeds. We are working out the details on a 2009 50 acre plot to compare some of the top pedigrees. Dr. David Nanda, famous corn breeder is now President while Leon is CEO. Here are some of the results in these parts and they have been active in OSU Corn Performance and other plots, really don't have to do so many any more, it sells itself but we need to know the performance. Below is just a few of the many local plots I have been involved in. They won enough competitive plots that the host company never published the results. 110 acres Bird SRW wheat no tilled into cornstalks Oct 3-10, 2007 Harvested July 2-8, 2008 72 bu per acre. Double cropped no till Jacob non-GMO soybeans July 4-10, 2008, yield 49.2 bu per acre, $1.80 non-GMO premium received, GMO resistant weeds controlled.
