63-70 |
40-43 |
100-102 |
High yielding hybrid that produces double ears, dries very quickly, and shells easy. Is susceptible to Wheat streak mosaic virus and will show some red streaking on the kernel in areas where this disease is present |

One of our best yielding hybrids out side of VEXP041770. Produces many suckers and double ears, dries quickly, and shells easy. Has a larger kernel size and better color than does VYP110. |
VEXP062402 |
Butterfly |
White |
95-102 |
39-42 |

Our highest yield potential white hybrid with our earliest maturity. Most plants will double ear. Small kernel size with very good eating qualities. |
VEXP041770 (VYP315) |
Butterfly |
Yellow |
57-64 |
41-44 |

Very high yielding, we have seen some field average yields exceed 10,000 lbs per acre in 2009 with 2010 being nearly as good. Excellent early vigor and standability at harvest. Dries down easily and shells even easier. This is our replacement long term for VYP110, VYP313, & VYP314 |
VEXP020637 (VYP410) |
Mushroom |
Yellow |
55-62 |
33-36 |

Our best mushroom hybrid. A very good yielding early mushroom hybrid. Dries quickly and shows significantly better mushrooming ability over VYP420 with better yield potential. |
M2101/A3035 |
Butterfly |
Yellow |
65-72 |

Popular white popcorn hybrid previously offered by Ames Seed Farms. Very nice eating and a good, stable yielder. |
VWP211 |
Butterfly |
White |
74-81 |
44-47 |
103-105 |
High yield potential for a white hybrid with an early maturity. Will double ear when needed. Medium to small kernel white with unmatched expansion in a white hybrid. Very tender eating hybrid. |
VEXP040071 |
Butterfly |
Yellow |
52-59 |
40-43 |
105-107 |
Our best shorter maturity hybrid with a large kernel size. Very high yielding. Similar plant type to VEXP041770 (VYP315). Excellent early vigor and standability at harvest. Good companion to VEXP041770 (VYP315) if you are looking for a bit larger kernel size. |
VYP313 |
|
|
54-61 |
39-42 |
106-108 |
One of our best yielding hybrids out side of VEXP041770. Will double ear, has good plant health and standability. |
VYP214 |
Butterfly |
|
60-67 |
45-48 |
106-108 |
Upright plant with excellent expansion and yield. Our data shows this hybrid will consistently out yield and pop equal to M2101/A3035. Less than ideal early vigor, but adequate. Will double ear when needed and perform well over a large range of populations. Easy shelling hybrid. |
VYP212 |
Butterfly |
|
59-66 |
42-45 |
106-108 |
Good hybrid for drought conditions, good early vigor, has shown susceptibility to Stewart's & Goss's wilt. Can root lodge if caught by wind just prior/after tasseling, but holds onto its ears well. Very nice looking grain shape and color. |
VYP420 |
Mushroom |
|
53-60 |
39-43 |
106-108 |
A bit slower dry down with an average black layer, good standability & plant health, good yielder, and good expansion for a mushroom hybrid. Ideal for kettle corn poppers or manufactures looking for a large flake with some mushroom characteristics. |
VYP321 |
Butterfly |
|
59-66 |
43-46 |
108-110 |
Late black layer, well above average yielder, upright plant, good plant health, can set many double ears. Our most rounded package a good agronomic package giving both yield and expansion. |
VYP330 |
Butterfly |
|
55-62 |
41-44 |
118-120 |
High yield potential for a fuller seasoned growing area. Nice large round grain liked by many export customers and pre-pop operations. |
