RAINBOW SEEDS

Here at Rainbow Seeds our mission is to provide you with the best possible products. After several years, research has determined that if you are not using a seed applied insecticide, you are not providing maximum protection for your crop. This creates a reduction in your overall yield and income potential. Therefore every bag of corn seed you purchase from us will be treated with Cruiser Extreme 250 or Poncho 250.

From time to time we have been told that our brand name is holding us back. After the floods of 1993 it seemed the rainbow, a symbol of the promise never to flood the earth again was a good representation of our beliefs and business ethics. In this day and age rainbow represents everything from vacuum cleaners to political groups. That said we are strongly considering a name change. Our intent is to choose a name that better represents what we sell and what we do.

We welcome your opinion on this matter and are anxious to hear any suggestions.

Rainbow Seed has identified hybrids that have added value to the ethanol industry. HFC - highly fermentable corn, HES - high extractable starch. Ask your processor what they prefer.

Rainbow varieties that display the LiberyLink® or HERCULEX® logos contain the LibertyLink trait and are tolerant to Ignite® herbicide, Ignite, LibertyLink, the Water Droplet Design are registered trademarks of Bayer. HERCULEX® is a trademark of Dow AgroScience LLC. Seed products with the LibertyLink® (LL) trait are resistant to the herbicide glufosinate ammonium, an alternative to glyphosate in corn, and combine high-yielding genetics with the powerful, non-selective, post-emergent weed control of Ignite® herbicide for optimum yield and excellent weed control.

Impressive performance for a short season plant. This hybrid has so much potential we decided to release it early. A workhorse female, crossed with a high yielding pollinator, add up to a great agronomic package. Data suggests it performs well everywhere but really shines in the central and western corn belt. A great variety to have when you want to start the combine early. Rel. Mat. 106. GDU 2275

This hybrid dries very fast for its maturity. Food grade quality grain and a good disease package make this variety a sure fire winner. Available in conventional only, so if you have heavy corn borer pressure, plan for a timely harvest. It will be ready. Rel. Mat. 107, GDU 2295.

This new Agrisure hybrid is available in Agrisure GT or Agrisure 3000GT traits. This is a very stable plant with an outstanding disease package. Very adaptable N-S and E-W. It responds well to high population. Rel. Mat. 109, GDU 2330.

A great pollinator brings new life to an old favorite. We're confident this hybrid will put us in the record books once again. You can be confident over the long run 3105 will have the highest average yield. Rel. Mat. 110, GDU 2340.

This variety has excellent seedling vigor. It's light color and upright leaves make it very tolerant to heat and drought. Available with Agrisure GT or 3000GT traits.  This is a girthy eared plant that really fills the hopper. Rel. Mat. 111, GDU 2350.

Another big yielder from Rainbow Seeds. A full 10 bushels better than 3122, when we saw this one it was time to move on. Good genetic diversity gives this hybrid a distinct advantage over its predecessor. Another variety that really responds to top management. Rel. Mat. 111, GDU 2350.

Rainbow 3118

This hybrid is made with two totally new inbreds. It was designed specifically as a traited variety so it is only available in RR or VT3. This is a good safe all around workhorse of a hybrid, with excellent scores across the chart. Soon to be your favorite, it's extremely durable with a wide area of adaption east to west. A definite yield winner for its maturity, if you keep the population up. Rel. Mat. 111, GDU 2345.

This hybrid comes from a long line of drought tolerant inbreds. Incredibly high yielding for a 112-day variety. It has gone over 300 BPA in ideal conditions. Even with a load like that it's an excellent stander. It could be sensitive to SU herbicides so be careful what you use. Rel. Mat. 112, GDU 2360.

Everyone's excited about this hybrid. A combination of two brand-new inbreds make it a little different than anything we've offered before. Large stalks and heavy foliage help tolerate insects and shade out weeds. A tough plant for tough conditions.  Rel. Mat. 113 G.D.U. 2370

Good early season vigor gets this plant off to a quick start. Excellent disease resistance keeps it looking great all year long. A good performer in wet or dry conditions puts it at the top of the plots Excellent scores for root and stalk make it the workhorse you've been looking for. It could be sensitive to SU herbicides so be careful what you use. Rel. Mat. 114, G.D.U. 2420.

Rainbow 3146

At first glance this hybrid doesn't look real impressive but break an ear in half and you'll see how it fills the hopper. In good conditions or bad it maintains kernel depth. The ear type is semi flex so moderate to high population is recommended. This variety should be kept south of Hwy 30.  Available with Agrisure traits.

Rainbow 3147

In cooperative testing last year, at over 300 locations from Ohio to Nebraska, it was the clear winner. Consistent performance over the entire Corn Belt will make 3145 an industry standard.  Soon to be a best seller. Rel. Mat. 114   GDU. 2410

Rainbow 3158

Grandpa always said big corn, big yields. When it comes to 3158 he was definitely right. This hybrid is a huge yielder. I have seen it go over 275 BPA. Some say it sounds like baseball bats going through the combine. With yield like that we had to release this one a year early. Rel. Mat. 115, GDU 2550.

Rainbow 3169 

Designed to replace 3167, this hybrid has the same disease resistant female. The new pollinator adds a yield punch that makes it a very competitive variety. This plant looks clean and healthy all the way to fall. Rel. Mat. 117, G.D.U. 2600.
