W E S T E R N C O R N B E LT P E R F O R M A N C E SEED GUIDE 2015 W E S T E R N C O R N B E LT P E R F O R M A N C E Dear friends, Like the sodbusters who pioneered farming in the Western Corn Belt, both the people and products at Hoegemeyer Hybrids are steadfast in advancing your farm’s success with that same drive and determination. Through our own hard-earned years of experience, we have come to understand the unique challenges and conditions faced by the growers we serve. Through rigorous testing of our broad and diverse germplasm base, plus access to the latest in trait technology to protect the germplasm’s yield potential, we are confident that our product portfolio will stand up to the challenges and conditions of the Western Corn Belt and help you succeed. While the seed industry has seen many changes over the course of our 77-year history, our personalized service and dedication to customer satisfaction remains the same. We are blessed to have many customers who continue to plant Hoegemeyer products from generation to generation, based on their trust and belief in our products. As part of the fourth generation of the Hoegemeyer family involved in the business, we remain committed to earning and maintaining that trust each and every season.

As in years past, I am excited about the offerings you’ll find in this product catalog. As farming becomes more complex, we are working to offer you products with the benefit of simplicity.

In addition, you’ll find outstanding soybean, sorghum and alfalfa products that are specifically tested for Western Corn Belt Performance. Finally, I want to express my sincere gratitude to you for trusting Hoegemeyer seed on your farm. It’s a big decision, and we are honored to serve you each and every season.

IMPORTANT: Characteristic scores provide key information useful in selecting and managing products in your area. Information and ratings are based on comparisons with other products sold by Hoegemeyer. Information and scores are assigned by Hoegemeyer and are based on period-of-years testing through 2013 harvest, and were the latest available at time of printing. Some scores may change after 2014 harvest. Scores represent an average of performance data across areas of adaptation, multiple growing conditions, and a wide range of both climate and soil types, and may not predict future results. Individual product responses are variable and subject to a variety of environmental, disease and pest pressures.

In 2011-2013 trials, Optimum AQUAmax products from PROaccess Genetics were grown in 404 non-irrigated research plots, on-farm strip test and on-farm side-by-sides with a win ratio of 70 percent across IA, SD, NE, KS, CO, MO and OK. Cumulative claim includes all 2011 and 2012 research plots against competitive hybrids (+/- 5 CRM), on-farm strip plot (+/- 10 CRM) and on-farm side-by-side comparisons against one similar CRM commercial product. These same products demonstrated a 3.4 bushel advantage with a win ratio of 61 percent in 210 irrigated comparisons. Product performance in non-irrigated environments is variable and depends on many factors such as the severity and timing of moisture deficiency, heat stress, soil type, management practices and environmental stress as well as disease and pest pressures. All hybrids may exhibit reduced yield under water and heat stress. Individual results may vary. 16 For more information or to find a dealer near you, call 1-800-AG LINE 1 (800-245-4631).

Silage MAX Right Stand® Standard Corn Treatment Right Stand Premium Corn Treatment Option All corn hybrids distributed by Hoegemeyer will be protected with Right Stand® corn treatment. Right Stand is a combination of fungicide and insecticide applied right on the seed. The fungicide portion protects against seed-borne and soil-borne diseases like Pythium, Fusarium, Aspergillius and Penicillium. The insecticide portion provides early-season protection from a host of secondary pests, such as Wireworm, Black Cutworm, White Grub, and Seed Corn Maggot. Poncho®/VOTiVO® 1250 is an optional nematicide and a high rate Seed Applied Insecticide. It provides a broader spectrum of secondary insect protection and some primary insect protection. Secondary insect protection includes some activity against corn rootworms for refuge acres when planting Corn Rootworm resistant hybrids. VOTiVO® protects against nematode damage.

Information and scores are assigned by Hoegemeyer and are based on period-of-years testing through 2013 harvest, and were the latest available at time of printing. Some scores may change after 2014 harvest. Scores represent an average of performance data across areas of adaptation, multiple growing conditions, and a wide range of both climate and soil types, and may not predict future results.

Do not harvest drought-damaged plants within one week following a good rain. Do not green chop within seven days of a killing frost. Cut at a higher stubble height; nitrates tend to accumulate in the lower stalk. Wait one month before feeding silage to give prussic acid enough time to escape. Note: Chlorosis can be a problem when planting forage or sorghum x Sudangrass in soils with a pH greater than 7.5-8.0. 42 For more information or to find a dealer near you, call 1-800-AG LINE 1 (800-245-4631).
