“Among our 30
new product releases this year, the YieldGard Plus® Roundup
Ready® 2 triple stack hybrids are the ones we are hearing about
most from our customers,” Steve Pike,
Fontanelle Hybrids sales
manager, Fontanelle, Nebraska said. “Customers from all across
our region, especially out West, have told us how impressed they
are with the triple stacks. The fields of these hybrids have
been greener, taller and better standing than other hybrids in
the immediate area. It will make for an exciting harvest
season.”
Here’s a breakdown of the 30 new products
Fontanelle introduced this year:
in corn five YieldGard Plus Roundup
Ready 2 triple stack hybrids, one YieldGard Plus hybrid,
four YieldGard Corn Borer Roundup Ready 2 stacked hybrids,
one Liberty® Link hybrid, four YieldGard Corn Borer hybrids,
one Herculex™ hybrid, one Roundup Ready 2 hybrid and one
conventional hybrid;
in soybeans eight Roundup Ready
varieties and one conventional variety; in grain sorghum two
new hybrids; and
in alfalfa a new Roundup Ready alfalfa
variety.
“We are continually expanding our line up to
bring better performing products to our customers, as well as
adding products in certain maturities to ensure that our
customers across our marketing area have the products that best
fit their farming practices,” Pike said.
Another new product type added to the line up
this year is Roundup Ready alfalfa. “Our RRALF 4R100 can make a
difference for our customers with its flexibility, simplicity
and performance,” Pike said. “We had a very limited supply
available for fall seeding which was gone as soon as it was
available. We have a better supply for spring seeding, although
we are again anticipating selling out. Our customers see that
the potential in this product is that good.”
