These hybrids/brands have the harvest flexibility of either cash grain or corn silage for growers who desire this application. In addition, these hybrids also offer a grower more latitude of  genetic selection of traited hybrids such as insect resistance and herbicide tolerances. As with all NuTech products, they have been thoroughly evaluated to provide you the most yield capacity.
