Our BMR corn hybrids are an example of our long-standing commitment to maximizing your milk production and efficiency. No other seed company compares with our extensive research, development and testing of corn hybrids bred specifically for animal nutrition.
Our BMR corn hybrids are proven to perform better than any other silage source. In fact, 16 university and independent scientific reports published since 1999 show cows fed Silage-Specific BMR corn hybrids produced an average of 4.8 pounds more milk per cow per day than cows fed non-BMR hybrids. These hybrids have performed on the biggest stage, too — consistently taking home top honors in the World’s Forage Analysis Superbowl competition at World Dairy Expo. And with the latest generation of agronomic characteristics, our BMR hybrids average 2 tons more per acre, with better standability and a wider harvest window compared with previous generations. Plus, these BMR hybrids give you the maximum milk production option if you’re not using recombinant bovine somatotropin (rBST) in your herd.
