During this year’s field inspections, we noted that proper hybrid selection by maturity group can significantly influence yield outcomes.

Based on preliminary observations, lower-FAO hybrids are currently drying down faster and showing an earlier end to vegetation.
This can be an advantage when heat units are insufficient for late hybrids to reach full maturity due to this season’s climatic conditions.

🔎 Visible ear differences:

• FAO ~350 — kernels remain moist and dense; ripening occurs gradually.

• FAO ~280 — kernels appear drier, showing a faster move toward full maturity.
