PAUK 10 - rLAlNUKALUK - FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 29, I960 <£ii! P' AgF Wtoyw Towlf Agronomic Education Director CHOOSING CORN HYBRIDS There are so many corn and sorghum hybrids available that no one can try them all. There has to be a decision in favor of a few of them and against most. I suspect most such decisions are based on experience of the previous year, on who is selling the seed and on brand name. Very few people have the information, time and inclination to make scientific selections, although there seems to be slow movement in this direction. Most hybrids are good hybrids. Some aren't so good and a few are outstanding. The first step is to eliminate the poor ones from con­ sideration. Then, we are confronted with the more difficult task of identifying superior ones. It does make a difference. For instance, in the 1979 Michigan state yield trials the highest yielding corn hybrids produced 30 bushels more grain per acre than the average of all hybrids tested. Top yielding hybrids beat the lowest yielding ones by 61 bushels per acre! If on- farm performance was similar to that in the tests, people who planted the low yielders didn't have a chance of harvesting break­ even yields. Practically every hybrid on the market, though, is backed by someone who thought it was a competitive hybrid before it was ever offered for sale. The more thorough the testing behind a new hybrid, the greater the likelihood of it being a successful one. Such testing must be done with care, at many locations and over a Deriod of years, in an attempt to sample the different year-to-year and place-to-place environments the tested hybrid will eventually encounter on farms. One year of tests at a dozen locations gives more timely data than testing at one location for 12 years, but the basic purpose is the same. Reserch results from one year cannot be taken as projections of what will occur the next year. That's the reason sound testing programs are set up to get at least three years of in­ formation at a number of locations before a hybrid is released for sale. Research-oriented hybrid seed companies have developed sophisticated testing programs for evaluating experimental hybrids. They feed new experimentals into their tests each year as they release a, few that have successfully completed the testing by showing superiority over older hybrids in some respect. My experience is that one hybrid will be released out of about every 1,000 experimentals that enter the testing and evaluation process. Farmers have various sources of information they can consult in their decision­ making. Most state universities publish results of replicated yield trials in which seed producers pay to have hybrids of their choice included. The most useful of these provide 2- or 3-year averages for an individual hybrid. Hybrids appearing for the first time cannot have a period-of-years average, of course. University , tests are perceived as being non partisan and usually provide the benefit of statistical interpretation intended to reduce the effect of variables other than true hybrid differences. Other "distinterested sources of performance information include strip tests conducted by FFA, extension or other groups, plus a few offered by independent crop con­ sultants and others. Usually these are non-replicated so statistical evaluation of the results is not possible, but they are generally large, multi-row, machine planted and harvested plots - which many farmers seem to prefer. Another large pool of in­ formation is that ac­ cumulated and made available by f the seed companies" themselves. Some share their research results; some don't. Many have some sort of a demonstration plot program which provides comparative hybrid performance figures. Generally these, too, are planted and harvested with c o n v e n t i o n a l f a r m machinery on local farms but are not replicated. One needs to check results from a number of these to reach any valid hybrid choice decisions. One should use all available information that is pertinent. Check to see whether soil type, growing conditions, and cultural practices resemble your own. The closer to your practices, the better. Be very cautious of one-year results - all they tell you is how the performance was under last year's conditions. Unless you expect 1980 to be exactly like 1979, results only from last year have to be accepted pautiously. The performance of any hybrid is finally proved on your own farm under your management and weather conditions. Even then, one year of experience isn't sufficient to make an irrevocable decision. The Business Of Co-ops DOWNWARD CERTIFICATION According to Frank Beal, director of the Illinois In­ stitute of Natural Resources, the U.S. Department of Energy is considering a new rule ^governing the distribution of petroleum products that could create hardships for consumers. Under the rule the monthly supply of gasoline given to a wholesaler would be reduced if any retail gasoline station served by the wholesaler should close down. This, process is called "downward certification." It then would be up to. the supplying refinery or oircompany to determine where to distribute the unclaimed gasoline. Beal urged the Department of Energy to ensure that any new rules involving downward cer­ tification be balanced with an equally simple and quick means for "upward cer­ tification," through which wholesalers could seek permission to retain all or part of the unclaimed gasoline for distribution. To start a food co-op there is a need for more than one dedicated person. Needed is a group of people who agree on priorities and who un­ derstand the concept of sharing work equally, ac­ cording to Art Rasch who conducted a food co-op seminar at McHenry County college last week. Rasch, director of the Chicago Area _ Co-op In­ formation center, shared his advice with a group of area residents who attended the seminar to find out more about saving money and getting better quality food , through a co-operative. "A co-op is a group of people who get together to do something for themselves," Rasch explained. He said almost all co-op work is done on a volunteer basis and he told the group about six food co-ops currently operating in the McHenry county area.r Raseh said co-ops usually operate as "real democracies in action" with each member having one vote regardless of the amount of food he or she buys from the co-op. "Lots of co-ops start out in churches, schools or em­ ployee groups," Rasch said. He advised that one of the pitfalls is that different co-op members are often seeking different things from the co­ op they form. "You have to rank your priorities in order. You have to decide if your highest goal is saving money, or getting good quality food, or buying only natural foods or whatever", Rasch said. He warned that existing co-ops have to poll their members every y$ar to find out if the groups priorities have changed since the co-op was originally formed. Rasch also shared advice on sales tax collection, getting information on current wholesale prices, each person becoming his own wholesale buyer and existing buying services which save co-ops. He warned that co-ops can't begin to match the 75,000 to 100,000 items of­ fered in supei markets. But he noted that when one shops in a market he is paying part of his food money for snow removel in the parking lot, fancy shopping carts and having ycfur food in­ dividually wrapped in plastic. Rasch said that the co-op information center will provide information to groups interested in forming a co-op or provide names and phone numbers of existing co-ops in areas that have openings for members. The center charges a miminal fee for the names of co-ops in your areas with openings and also has tours, classes, books and speakers available. Telephone the center at (312 ) 227-5897 or write to P.O. Box 2559, Chicago, 111., 60690.
