“With 51 new products in the Fontanelle Hybrids line up, our customers will see us fulfilling their needs at a whole new level of service and performance,” Steve Pike, president, Fontanelle Hybrids, Nebraska said. “And our Dominator Series of hybrids is leading the pack.”

The Dominator Series is a specific designation given to Fontanelle’s corn numbers with the newest genetics and traits combined in an unbeatable package. “Dominator hybrids are Fontanelle’s future best sellers so we want our customers to be sure to plant the corn numbers from this group that suit their farm and farming practices,” Pike said.

The Dominator designation has been given to 15 of the 16 new YieldGard® Plus/Roundup Ready® 2 corn numbers; eight of the nine new YieldGard Corn Borer/Roundup Ready 2 corn numbers; and all six of the new Roundup Ready 2 corn numbers.

Other new products include a new conventional corn number, a new waxy corn number, 12 new Roundup Ready soybeans, and two new forage sorghums.

“One other new line we’ve added this year is called Visitve soybeans, which are low linoleic,” Pike said. “The main advantage to our customers is that they can maintain yield performance with these beans and get a premium from food processors. The processors are interested in low linoleic beans because it produces a soybean oil that has health benefits for consumers.” Fontanelle has four new Visitve soybeans in the line up.

Fontanelle Hybrids markets corn, soybeans, grain sorghum, alfalfa and sunflowers in Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Colorado, Missouri and portions of Illinois, Minnesota, South Dakota and Texas as an independent operating company within American Seeds Inc, a holding company of Monsanto.
