HAclmes’ Certified Hybrid Corn 

YES 
All plants in a field of corn that was planted with a given 
hybrid are related to each other. The relationship is fully as 
close as that between first cousins. The seed coming from such 
a field is therefore definitely inbred because of this relationship 
of the parent plants. 
Inbreeding in corn is always associated with reduction in 
vigor and grain yields. That is why seed from a field of hybrid 
corn is lower in yield than was the first generation cross. Re- 
peated tests at the Ohio Experiment station and at other sta- 
tions have shown that the average reduction in yield is about 
15 per cent.
