Think of seed selection for next year as an opportunity for profit enhancement.

1. Put performance and yield performance above the price.

2. Spread your risk.

3. Make new hybrids prove themselves.

4. Use information from test plots.

5. Make sure you are getting a mix of genetics.

6. Consider each field's environment and match it to your hybrids.

7. Follow your plan and keep good records.

8. Make sure you utilize your best resource - your seedsman.
