And ive grown Reids probably off and on for 30 yrs. With another 10 years in hybred corn. Ive never got a fracton of the yields in OP corn. Yes the stalk is twice as tall, but that seems bait for wind, and if you van grow 2 hybred 6ft stalks in the place of one 12ft Op stalk, what have you gained. True, you can save your own seed, and thereb y , in my casem with the above prices, save $3,40, But, at $114 a bu Hybred, and that being near $500, I can have at least twice the yeild in a bad year as I can have with OP in the best year of my life. Why did I stay with Op so long if these are my thoughts?? Well, I always liked the price, and I thought IO could make yields where others couldnt. Then i realized, if I planted 8 acres of my 12 in OP vorn and 4 in oats, Then, if I planted 3 in Hybred and planted 3 in Hyubred corn, id have the same yield, but I would have twice the acreage in oats. I kinda hate it, but thats how I see it.
