Resistance: Rps 1cTolerance: 1.7

1.5

Bred for performance, consistently at the top of the plots in Ohio and Indiana going on 3 years. Leads the 2-year yield average in the OSU Trials Early Central Region. Strong standability and disease package. Very versatile and adapted to all soil types. A MUST PLANT for 2015.

2324RR2 3.2 Medium Tall Bush 2.3 1.9 1.1Resistance: Rps 1k

Tolerance: 1.31.7

One of our best overall performing varieties last year, dominated independent testing 1st year out of the gate. Adapted to all soil types, one of "OUR BEST" for variable and lighter soils. Exceptional tolerance against Phytophthora Root Rot and SDS. Excellent choice for acres beans after beans.



No Rating

New genetics with heavy hitting 2-year results against mid group 3's. Replaced Ebberts 2342 and 2333 with a 2 bu. yield advantage and better standability over 2 years of testing. Excellent defensive scores against Phytophthora and SDS. The TOTAL PACKAGE for Ohio and Indiana soils, plant with confidence.

BENEFITS OF NEW SEEDConvenience

» Highest quality and highest yielding product vs. bin-run» Reliable seed supply in many maturities

Economics of New Seed vs. Bin-Run» Average loss of ~10–15% cleanout at harvest for bin-run seed» Bin-run planting rates are generally 15% higher than new certified seed

Limited Warranty Benefits» Dealer agronomic support before and after the sale» Risk management benefits of Roundup Rewards® (over $600 million in benefits paid)

New Innovations» Monsanto’s 100% commitment to agriculture» Our very preliminary estimate is that farmers get a $6 benefit for each $1 spent

on private sector research.

Big upside performance in higher yield environments. Excellent drydown for early harvesting. Position on average to better soils. May cannibalize stalk for yield, avoid late harvests.

1309 Conventional 109 DAY 32 - 36 2 1 1 Moderate FlexExcellent stalk and root strength with medium statured plants. Girthy ears with 18-20 deep kernel rows. Very good overall grain quality with quick drydown and heavy test weight.

Versatile on all soils, excellent for Ohio. Strong upside performance at higher plant populations. Very consistent ear set, must keep final plant stands at a minimum of 30,000 / acre. Very good drydown for early harvesting.

7909VT3P RIB Genuity® VT Triple PRO® RIB Complete® Corn Blend 109 DAY 32 - 36 3 2 1 Moderate Flex

Excellent 2-year yield average in 3rd party testing, one of our best! Medium plant height with excellent stalk and root strength. One of our best performers under stress. Excellent test weight, +60 lbs consistently over several seasons.

Position on all soils. Stands well for late harvests. Strong upside performance at higher plant populations. Very consistent ear set, must keep final plant stands at a minimum of 30,000 / acre. HERBICIDE CAUTION: Avoid post applications of growth regulator herbicides (Dicamba, Status, etc.)


Excellent drydown and yield performance, consistently tops several 3rd party plots. Will compete with other 110-112 day hybrids with drier grain. Attractive fall appearance and plant health, our best against Grey Leaf Spot. Very good tolerance against ear molds, top notch grain quality and test weight.

Versatile, position on all soil types. Excellent agronomics for no-till. Outstanding plant health with very good Grey Leaf Spot tolerance. Very good stalk fall intactness and staygreen for extended harvests. Greensnap risk early summer.
