FERTEILGEY 
pays off, as every good farmer knows. Fields 
of well balanced fertility are selected for 
Funk G-Hybrid production, to give the seed 
crop that extra push which helps to produce 
fully mature, plump kernels of seed corn. 
ISOLATION 
of seed production fields is important. Months 
before planting time, in every area, Funk 
G-Hybrid seedsmen select farms with the 
best soil... fields which are well isolated... 
and farm operators who know their business. 
DETASSELING 
is a major operation that must be done thor- 
oughly and carefully, on a strict time sched- 
ule. Hundreds of millions of tassels from 
G-Hybrid seed parent plants must be re- 
moved before they shed pollen. 
EARLY HARVEST 
Seed ears are harvested as soon as possible 
after maturity. Every precaution is taken to 
get the seed safely inside before germina- 
tion can be hurt by severe cold weather. 
EAR SELECTION 
by crews of specially trained inspectors in- 
sures that ears and kernels which fail to meet 
high Funk G-Hybrid standards are elimi- 
nated. Repeated hand sorting assures quality. 





SAFE DRYING 
by electrically controlled heat in special bins 
reduces moisture to about 12 percent and 
makes the seed almost immune to damage 
from temperature changes while the corn is 
in storage prior to the planting season. 
ACCURATE GRADING, 
following the shelling operation and done 
by modern machinery, results in uniformity 
of kernel size and shape. This uniformity is 
highly important in helping you get your 
planting done quickly and smoothly. 
PROTECTION 
against seedling diseases is given to the 
seed by treatment with specially formulated 
dust. Research points out that these seed 
treatments may result in one to three addi- 
tional bushels per acre in the corn yield. 
GERMINATION 
tests on all lots of seed are made continually 
and repeatedly throughout the storage sea- 
son to make absolutely certain that seed de- 
livered to you will give high germination. 
STORAGE 
in dry warehouses holds the seed safely 
until you are ready to take delivery. The 
Funk seal is your assurance that your seed 
has the ability to make outstanding corn.
