Schlessman® Hybrids "Performance Genetics" Corn Descriptions

Research Selected Hybrids for Consistent Yields,
and Greater Disease Resistance

The Schlessman family has been producing seed corn and other field seeds for over a century. It has been our challenge to meet the needs of generations of progressive farmers with new hybrids that improve disease resistance, improve harvestability and ultimately improve yields.

Schlessman® Hybrids have been bred with performance and dependability. We have been introducing hybrids and varieties with new traits that improve efficiency and enhance convenience to our customers. Only the most advanced combinations of inbred lines are used to produce our quality hybrids. Only after these lines are tested for yield performance and dependability, do they go into production. This ensures that the seed that you as the farmer plants, has the potential to consistently produce higher yields of drier grain to provide extra profit to you.

Schlessman Seed Company has worked hard over the last several seasons to select genetic options that bring competitive yield without the added cost of traits where agronomics do not require insect protection or herbicide tolerance. Our lineup of "Performance Genetics" provides you with a complete range of maturities (82 days to 112 days). Careful consideration of emergence, standability, disease tolerance, test weight, and yield go into Schlessman Seed Company’s final genetic selection process. Choosing conventional corn hybrids can reduce production cost by as much as $60 per acre, which could make the difference for showing a profit.

The finest traited hybrids are also offered to producers who require herbicide and insect protections.
