Is there a workhorse vs. racehorse analogy with BT corn?
We have some of our hybrids-we figure out what we’re going to plant each year. Some are known more as workhorse hybrids or they have more stress tolerance built into them, but usually those won’t be your very top yielders in a high yield environment so you never know at planting time how much weather pressure you’ll get. For example right now, we have some drought stress because it’s very dry here. They will hold up better in a drought stress. But the racehorse hybrids you will plant if you have optimum rain, optimum sunshine-everything is right-they will out-yield, and in the end make you more money than the workhorse hybrids. But in a year like this, the workhorse hybrids will actually yield better than the racehorse hybrids because the racehorses won’t have maybe quite as good a root system, won’t have quite as good a stalk. They’re bred to put more right into the ear, in the production of the corn itself. So those hybrids, while you want some of them to get that optimum yield, you
