West Kentucky | Just because it has the same varietal number therefore meaning identical hybrid doesn't mean they are going to perform the same. So many things that seed companies directly affect by the way they grow and handle the seed go into the way a hybrid performs for a farmer the following year. Not to mention things such as how treatment is applied, what treatments are applied, how the seed plants after treatment, how well it is graded and cleaned and even how it was stored. I have seen many times in plots the "identical" hybrids performed 10-20 bushel apart on a consistent basis. Have even seen it in side by side performance in the field. I am not discounting the value of knowing, but I am saying it is only one part of the puzzle. | |
