What variety, or varieties, should I plant?

Several varieties are available that are capable of producing high yields. I would plant the bulk of my acreage in a proven performer on your farm. Plant a small acreage of any new varieties that may have preformed well in your area. Avoid planting high percentages of your acreage in unproven varieties.

Select varieties with value added transgenic traits carefully. Be sure you need the specific gene pack age and be sure the gene package is in a variety that is adapted to your farm.
