BECAUSE... 
Before the days of hybrid corn, most farmers butted 
and tipped their seed corn and planted only the flat kernels. 
Practically no round kernels were planted. 
When Pioneer corn breeders introduced hybrid seed 
corn, most farmers, through force of habit, hesitated to 
plant round kernels, and were unwilling to pay as much 
for them as flat kernels. Round kernels of hybrid seed corn 
were difficult to plant in those early days . . . they weren’t 
as uniform in size, proper plates had not been made to 
handle them, and they were unattractive in appearance. 
For these reasons, 15 years ago, when Pioneer flat ker- 
nels sold for $12.00 a bushel, the round kernels sold for 
less than one-half this price. 
However, since that time, the relative value of Pioneer 
round kernels has gone up because the old objections to 
them have mostly been overcome. Today they sell for about 
one-fifth less than the flat sizes. This is still quite a sub- 
stantial saving and thrifty farmers are taking advantage 
of it.
