Rough, Deep-Dented Soft Kernels 
RESISTANT TO INSECT PESTS 
“Like a Regiment of Soldiers”: That’s the way 
farmers describe the exceptional standability of 
G-66 following demonstrations like the 1940 
Armistice Day storm in Iowa or the field in the 
photo above which Lloyd O’Nele of Chapman, 
Nebraska, left until March 20 and then har- 
vested 81 bu. per acre with a mechanical picker. 
The sturdy stalks defy wind and storm, and the 
short shanks hold the ears. 
The Kind Your Livestock Likes: Feeders and 
Hogmen, like John C. Schulte & Son, originators 
and breeders of Hereford swine, of Norway, 
Iowa, are boosters for G-66. The big, cylindrical 
single ears combine size and high shelling per- 
centage to produce exceptional yields. The deep 
kernels are relatively rough and of soft texture, 
giving G-66 the grain quality that pleases feed- 
ers who want corn that’s not hard and flinty. 
But the Bugs Pass It By: Chinch bugs in the 
second brood are seldom a factor in G-66 fields. 
And in north central Indiana and northwest 
Ohio, G-66 for three years has been consistent 
in its resistance to the European Corn Borer.

after corn borers, farmers demand the upstanding, bigger-eared G- 66.
