DEKALB’S THE CORN | 
that’s doing the job 
in the SOUTH and EAST 
Each year the demand for DeKalb Hybrid Seed Corn becomes greater, 
a fact which proves its wide adaptability to the climates and soils of the 
South and East. DeKalb is bred to tolerate drought, insects, and blight, 
and it has excellent standing ability. Farmers find DeKalb delivers fine 
yields of grain, while for ensilage it produces a large tonnage of high 
grain content. We have more DeKalb varieties to meet a wider range of 
growing conditions, which means uniformly high average yields on many 
soils. DeKalb hybrids have had five years of successful performance in 
this area.
