YOUR PROFITABILITY POTENTIAL STARTS WITH SMARTER FEED EFFICIENCY

Enogen Feed corn hybrids improve feed efficiency to help lower feed costs and improve profit potential, whether you feed corn as whole-grain, dry-rolled, steam-flaked or silage. ®

5% INCREASED

HIGHER FEED EFFICIENCY

AVG

Our hybrids can increase feed efficiency by an average of 5%1 in stocker and finishing cattle, according to feeding trials at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Kansas State University by improving starch utilization, resulting in more available energy for your herd.

FEED EFFICIENCY

PROVEN, HIGH-YIELDING HYBRIDS

NO MANAGEMENT CHALLENGES*

Enogen Feed corn hybrids have been shown to provide excellent yield potential, performing equal to or better than non-Enogen Feed hybrids2 for beef producers—to promote increased feed efficiency without sacrificing yield potential.

Unlike some silage-specific hybrids, Enogen Feed corn hybrids come without profit-stealing management challenges. Our hybrids can also be harvested as silage, grain or high-moisture corn, making it a very flexible product. *Growers must comply with specific yet simple stewardship requirements.

DID YOU KNOW? Corn is about 75% starch—a complex carbohydrate that provides energy to cattle to grow and finish. AG VALLEY 2022 SEED GUIDE | 20

ENOGEN STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM Due to the unique value it provides to the livestock industry, Enogen corn is grown as an Identity Preserved (IP) Crop so it reaches its intended destination and it’s directed where you need it most — in the feed bunk to help support lower feed costs and to increase profit potential for your operation. OUR STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM ASKS FARMERS TO: » Sign a contract with Syngenta to use grain or silage on their farms — or deliver it to a specified location

» Submit planting and harvest reports to ensure that the crop is where it is intended to be during production and storage

» Plan and map Enogen fields with your seed seller through our user-friendly planning tools

» Participate in phone audits to help gauge how we’re doing as a technology provider

* For a complete list of stewardship requirements for Enogen growers, please see the Enogen Stewardship Guide, available at Enogen.com

You may already be using many of these practices for good farm management, but we know it takes time and effort. That’s why we will recognize your hard work with $10 per seed unit planted paid to you after your stewardship reports are filed at the end of the season, pursuant to the terms of your Enogen contract.

Increase the profit potential of your operation with Enogen feed corn and get an additional $10 back for every eligible bag of Enogen corn you plant. Now that’s a solid day’s work... in the bag.
