- 94-Day Relative Maturity - Ideal for short-season regions and flexible harvest timing
- Exceptional Seedling Vigor - Rapid emergence and early-season development for strong stands
- White Cob Technology - Extremely high feedout with no cob disks for better palatability
- Very Good Stalk Strength - Excellent standability reduces harvest losses
- High Stress Tolerance - Performs consistently across varying conditions
- Tall Plant Height - Maximizes tonnage potential per acre
- Wide Adaptability - Performs well across diverse soil types
What Makes Full Floury Leafy Special?
Full Floury Leafy (LLF) corn represents the pinnacle of silage corn breeding for dairy nutrition:
- Maximum Starch Digestibility - Floury endosperm breaks down more completely in the rumen than conventional dent corn
- Higher Milk Production - More available energy translates directly to increased milk per ton of silage
- Improved Feed Efficiency - Better starch utilization means less feed needed per unit of milk
- Enhanced Leafiness - More leaf material increases overall forage quality and digestibility
- Superior Feedout - White cob eliminates hard cob disks that reduce palatability and digestibility
Agronomic Advantages
- Excellent Emergence - Strong seedling vigor ensures uniform stands even in challenging conditions
- Rapid Early Growth - Quick canopy closure suppresses weeds and maximizes light interception
- Stress Resilient - Maintains performance under heat, drought, and variable conditions
- Strong Stalks - Very good stalk strength minimizes lodging and harvest losses
- Flexible Harvest Window - Maintains quality over an extended harvest period
Ideal For
- High-Production Dairy Operations - Maximize milk production per acre of silage
- Short-Season Regions - 94-day maturity fits tight growing windows
- Quality-Focused Producers - Premium forage quality commands premium milk prices
