LYLE MARCUS AT NORTHSTAR FIELD DAY.
VIKING C O R N
Viking Corn and NorthStar Genetics are working hard to bring value to corn growers in Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota.
• PERFORMANCE
• CORN PLOTS WHERE YOU PLANT CORN
We are excited to offer a lineup of corn that is second to none.
• REFUGE-IN-A-BAG SIMPLICITY
Of the 24 corn hybrids NorthStar is offering this year, 16 do not require a separate refuge.
• REAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE NEEDS OF NORTHERN CORN GROWERS
Growing corn in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota is not like growing corn in Iowa or Illinois. NorthStar Genetics understands this because our people live and work here.
NorthStar Genetics is putting in their own corn plots in northern Minnesota and North Dakota to test their hybrids where they are actually going to be planted.
• VALUE
If we want to be successful, we have to make sure that our customers are successful. To do that, we have to provide value outside of the great seed in our bags and pro-boxes. We strive to do that by understanding where and how you farm before we make product recommendations and then delivering on your expectations. Every time.

TRAIT DESIGNATION
RM These Viking hybrids are designated with a VS prefix to indicate Viking Seed. The next digits indicate days Relative Maturity (RM). The last three digits identify different hybrids within the maturity group. The trait identifier is not part of the hybrid designation but is added to inform the grower of the applicable traits.
