To Our Valued Customers


To Our Valued Customers:

This is an exciting year at American Organic. The new VALUE PLUS® line of seed corn is generating all sorts of interest in the organic industry. We are at the forefront of establishing new ways of viewing corn grain and silage; yield with NUTRITION!

Imagine every pound of seed corn or silage with more protein, oil (energy) and essential amino acids; methionine, lysine, ect! It is here in a genetically unique, non-engineered line of elite seed corn known as VALUE PLUSr.

There is now another option to reducing feed input costs, increasing feed efficiency and producing more meat, milk and eggs; growing VALUE PLUSr corn!

We will have a number of plots, updated forage and grain analysis, as well as summary information coming out in the coming months. Keep a watch in your mail.

As always, we appreciate the support you have shown in the past, the suggestions and comments that make American Organic a better company for the future and most of all, your friendship.

 

Sincerely,

Art Scheele

What do you mean by nitrogen type 1 or 2 or 3?

Type 1: Needs a major portion of its Nitrogen early for plant development.
Type 2: Needs early Nitrogen, but responds to mid to late Nitrogen.

Type 3: Responds to later applied or slow release nitrogen

 

What do the Variety numbers mean?
