RAINBOW SEEDS

In the next 1 to 2 years we will be introducing the following new traits:

1. Broad lepidopteran control (broad lep.). This trait protects against RW/ECB/WBCW/CEW/FAW at all stages of insect development.

2. Yield enhancement through nitrogen utilization (N.U.) often referred to as drought tolerant corn.

3. Glyphosate and ALS tolerant corn and soybeans.

We're excited about these new products. We're confident they will increase production and improve your bottom line.

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.

READY FOR 2010

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

Lean and mean, a slim line hybrid that's a very efficient producer. Good early vigor and rapid growth finishes this variety ahead of the pack. It's not an impressive looking hybrid but when you start combining you won't be disappointed. Highly adaptable north to south and east to west. Everyone can use this variety. Rel. Mat. 107, GDU 2290.

Finally, a workhorse hybrid that will consistently outyield 3100. In the plots or on the farm this variety is consistent, consistent, consistent. Excellent yields with fast dry down makes this plant a very efficient producer. Have the combine ready, it's always dryer than it looks. 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.

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.

Rainbow 3120

Highly adaptable, from Ohio to Nebraska and iowa to Arkansas, this hybrid is a plot winner. A good disease package coupled with high drought tolerance aid in consistent performance. Everyone should have some 3120 on their farm. Rel. Mat. 111, GDU 2360.

All new genetics from Greenleaf. This slimline plant is a very efficient producer. Currently available only as a conventinal hybrid, it will out perform many double or triple stack varieties. Extremely consistent year to year with excellent stalk and root scores. This one looks to be a workhorse. Rel. Mat. 112, GDU 2365.

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 conditons. 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 foilage 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 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 (est).

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.P.U. 2600.
