Key Takeaways:

• Dual-purpose hybrids offer farmers a flexible crop option for both grain and silage production.
• LG Seeds' Silage Proven (dual-purpose) hybrids empower both high yields and top-quality silage, which helps optimize profitability for farmers.
• These hybrids offer a dependable solution for long-term success in dairy operations while prioritizing sustainability and profitability.

Every plow turned, every sow nurtured, every cow tended — each action on the farm holds the potential to tip the scales of productivity and profitability.

But when the conversation turns to silage production, the stakes are higher. Choosing the right corn hybrids is paramount, as they can shape the destiny of a dairy operation.

That's where the dual-purpose hybrid emerges as a true game-changer. 

With its unique ability to serve both as a silage crop and a grain harvest, the dual-purpose hybrid offers unparalleled flexibility. No more tossing and turning over planting decisions. Rain or shine, this versatile hybrid stands ready to support the farm's needs.

The Rise of Dual-Purpose Corn Hybrids

Dual-purpose corn hybrids have long encountered skeptics, often dismissed as a suboptimal choice. It's understandable to feel hesitant about a hybrid intended for more than just silage when your primary goal is to harvest for cow chow.

However, what distinguishes a dual-purpose hybrid is its ability to deliver both quantity and quality in silage production. 

These hybrids offer necessary adaptability and versatility for farmers in the Corn Belt and silage-heavy states who need to prioritize silage in the bunker before transitioning to grain harvesting. Moreover, desirable drought and disease-resistant traits enhance the overall appeal of dual-purpose hybrids.

At LG Seeds, we proudly showcase our dual-purpose hybrids as the Swiss Army knives of farming. 

Our high performing genetics enable us to offer solutions that work for both grain and silage, seamlessly adjusting to changing market demands or specific farm requirements.

Offering both high yield potential and superior nutritional value and energy content, they're the cream of the crop for dairy farmers. 

Think quality, think nutrition, think milk per acre — that's the LG Seeds way.
