Dulaney expalins that Mid-South farmers have the soil, the management capability, and the growing season to raise the highest corn yields and highest profits in the United States
Heterosis is hybrid vigor or the dramatically improved yield potential of a crop once it becomes hybridized. For example, some crops like wheat acquire low to moderate levels of heterosis, increased yield potential, once they become a hybrid. Other crops, like corn, obtain so much heterosis from hybridization that their yield potential has no real limit.
Heterosis is the number one reason why every farmer in the south should be raising corn. It offers more profit opportunity than any other crop, regardless of what market prices do, because corn has so much untapped yield potential. No other crop gives farmers as much opportunity to increase yields as corn does. "Farmers need to stop looking at input costs or convenience as the primary deciding factors when determining which crops to raise,” says Wayne Dulaney, Lead Agronomist for AgVenture MidSouth. "Instead, they should focus on crops like corn that have the potential to "break through” yield barriers and return them the most profit. Every grower who plants corn can increase profitability more than he ever dreamed once he understands the huge potential that comes from heterosis in corn AND what it takes to capture those top yields.”
How does a corn grower tap into the heterosis yield potential? He needs to follow a system a set of protocols specifically designed to express every increment of corn yield to its maximum. "Too many farmers don’t have access to that type of system.” says Dulaney. "There is only one company that offers a system that includes these maximum yield protocols and that’s AgVenture.”
That system is the 300-Bushel, Maximum Profit System. Corn growers in the south who have used the Maximum Profit System are seeing great results. They have learned how to express every increment of corn yield necessary to continuously maximize yield. They have also learned how important it is to not skip any of the system’s steps. By focusing on increasing corn yield averages to 300 bushels per acre or more over a three to five year period, farmers have a completely new outlook on farming. They are now are using short-term corn management goals as steppingstones to building long-term profits. The best part is Maximum Profit Farmers are making more per acre profits regardless of market prices. The sheer number of extra bushels harvested makes up for significant market fluctuations, including input prices. Those extra bushels will allow farmers to pay down debt faster, retire early, expand their operations, or any other long-term goal. That’s the goal of the AgVenture 300-Bushel Maximum Profit System.
Farmers in the south have the greatest opportunity of any growers in our nation right now. They have the soil, the management capability, and the growing season to raise the highest corn yields and highest profits in the United States. According to Dulaney, "AgVenture’s elite new corn hybrids have so much heterosis,yield potential, when placed into the 300-Bushel Maximum Profit System, farmers realize record yields We are able to place the right varieties on the right farms and in the right fields. The 300 bushel per acre Maximum Profit System is a road map to success for corn growers to follow. They are impressed by how simple it really is.”
The ONLY way to make dramatic gains in profitability in farming today is to take yields to new levels. It’s time for farmers to focus on making record corn yields the number one business decision on their farms. Contact your AgVenture Maximum Profit Specialist for help.
