Johnny Osborne of Higginbottom Farms in Texas
"I planted 100 percent Pioneer on 2,500 acres of corn for the last four years. Last year my Wilbur-Ellis consultant recommended trying some Integra corn because it has had great success in my area. After he had explained the Manifest™ Treatment System, I decided to try a hundred acres.
It was an unfair test between the Pioneer and Integra, because the Pioneer had 300 pounds of nitrogen and the Integra only had 200 pounds of nitrogen. You would think it was the opposite after harvest because the Integra averaged 190 bushels per acre while the Pioneer, even with all the extra nitrogen it had under it, only went 160 bushels per acre. That's a 30 bushel difference—even with a disadvantage. That was all it took for me. I switched all my corn acres to Integra this year because I just couldn't afford not to!"
