WE'RE GOING BACK TO OUR ROOTS
We’re returning NC+ to the West. Who we are. Where we’ve come from. What we stand for. As part of that action, we’re re-introducing the NC+ system for numbering corn hybrids. We’ve gone into the archives. We’ve spoken with past NC+ product managers and salesmen. The result is the number system NC+ was built on. To be clear: the existing, consistent-performing hybrids and varieties you know will not change. But from this point forward, we’re going back to the roots of NC+.
Here are the maturity ranges for our new hybrid numbering system:
1001-1999: RM 93 and below
2000-2999: RM 94-97
3000-3999: RM 98-101
4000-4999: RM 102-105
5000-5999: RM 106-109
6000-6999: RM 110-113
7000-7999: RM 114-117
8000-8999: RM 118 and above
True 101 day hybrid with dominating yield performance. Full flex ear with very good drought and heat tolerances. Superior green snap tolerance and excellent Gosss Wilt tolerance make for good western movement. Good stalks and roots are protected by superior tolerance to Anthracnose Stalk Rot. Adapted to all yield environments with best performance noted in and north of zone. Solid Common and Southern Rust tolerances with very good drydown and test weight. Very good seedling vigor for early planting.

A hybrid that weathers difficult western conditions and low to moderate yield levels as well as top end, highly managed farms. Simply excellent emergence, early season robustness and stand establishment. A smaller plant type with medium height and medium ear placement. Is excellent against greensnap though will want to monitor late season integrity and plant health. Experience shows this hybrid may lose tops under stressful conditions, though is stable and strong below the ear. This hybrid will have great response to fungicide. The strong ear flex allows this hybrid to take advantage of a favorable July.

NEW BEANS THAT MAY RING A BELL
We’re taking soybeans back to a familiar place as well. We’re re-introducing the NC+ system for numbering soybean varieties. The existing, consistent-performing varieties you know will not change. But from this point forward, new varieties will feature the trait initial after the maturity number. It's all part of an effort to return to the NC+ you remember.
