Maybe, as you read that unprecedented 
announcement on the preceding pages, 
you asked yourself, “Why is it that Funk 
is producing so much better hybrids? 
How can these people be so sure it’s better 
than anything I’ve ever grown?” 
Youll find your answer in the Hoffman 
Proving Ground Research Program, under 
direction of “Les” Hug, that has never 
stopped operating since Hoffman brought 
hybrid corn to the East. These Hoffman 
research plots, located in every corn-grow- 
ing area in the East, are paying off. Out 
of these Proving Grounds (like the one 
above) have come these new Funk G 
Hybrids, tailor-made to do a better job in 
every area than any corn ever did before. 
First, these plots helped determine ex- 
actly what was needed to get better corn 
in each locality. Second, these plots have 
tested hundreds of hybrid combinations, 
selecting the most promising for further 
trial and improvement. Third, they proved 
—before a single pound of seed corn was 
offered any Hoffman customer—that the 
best Funk G Hybrid combination was 
18 

better than any corn used in that area. 
Here is one of the outstanding differ- 
ences between Hoffman Funk G Hybrids 
and all, other hybrids being grown in the 
East. Through the combined research ef- 
forts of Funk and Hoffman, Funk G Hy- 
brids are built to specification to meet your 
needs on your farm. That’s why the man 
who grows Funk G Hybrids is always 
ahead—in crib corn or silage—in good years 
or bad. And this is why when you grow 
Funk G Hybrids you'll always be staying 
ahead. Ahead today—with these new hy- 
brids built for you. Ahead tomorrow with 
new hybrids that are already being made- 
to-measure in Hoffman Proving Grounds 
in every area. 
Look at the actual corn in this chopped silage... 
evidence of the higher feed value in this new Funk 
G type silage. (More feed per ton of green weight.)
