Dear Grower,

Partnerships are increasingly important in the hybrid seed industry. Fortunately, at Great Lakes Hybrids, we saw this coming years ago and formed a relationship with AgReliant Genetics, a company that shares our focus on developing hybrids that consistently perform for corn growers. The result has been championship performance in fields across the corn belt.

We are also positioned with many strategic alliances to access and incorporate the latest and best value-added input and output traits into our diverse, high-yielding germplasm by using techniques like our doubled-haploid technology and accelerated forward breeding.

A Focus on Seed Technology

Great Lakes is part of the world’s largest corn-breeding company that is owned and operated by farmers and seedsmen. Our entire focus is seed. Our worldwide corn breeding program has more than 130 breeding stations, research locations and gene technology labs. Revolutionary doubled-haploid breeding technology brings new hybrids to your fields two-to-three years faster than any competitor today.

Performance in the Field

The speed and precision of bringing science to the field is paying off in unrivaled product innovations, beginning with our twenty one G3 hybrids. The results speak for themselves:

• 56 National Corn Growers National Yield Contest Champions in the past three years, including 15 champions in 2006
• 202 F.I.R.S.T. Trial wins and 1,551 Top-10s
• Last year, in 38,174 comparisons, our new hybrid introductions outyielded competitive brands with similar traits by 7.16 bushels and more than $23 per acre
• In 4,263 locations, GLH G3 products out-yielded competitive brands by 8.98 bushels and more than $28 per acre.

You can see why we’re excited about Great Lakes Hybrids products. You’ll share the excitement when you see how they perform in your fields and add to your bottom line. You can also be confident of the ways we support you with our system of Great Lakes district managers, agronomists and customer service personnel. We will do everything we can to make you successful.

Sincerely,

Mike Stephenson
General Manager
