“This is our second year
using A499 and it has been
a great corn for us. This
year we harvested on August
at 2 moisture, and the
A499 made 20 dry bush
els per acre. We were very
impressed.”

“I like that Augusta offers so many
high yielding midseason corns.
y A499 gets me started shelling earlier and
yields like a full season hybrid. It’s in the bin now
and averaged in the high 180’s!”
