HISTORY<br />

<strong>Renk</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> has been around a long time and look how<br />

far we’ve come. Our business began in the days of horses<br />

and oil lanterns and has continued into a world of robotic<br />

palletizers and computer-driven color sorters. While a lot<br />

has changed over the years, we’ve remained on the same<br />

land, committed to customer service and delivering the<br />

best products possible. Here’s a quick look at our past,<br />

GROWING FOR GENERATIONS<br />

<strong>Renk</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> has always taken a long-term approach to selling seed. Our operation has been in existence since 1846 and six generations of<br />

<strong>Renk</strong>s have contributed to making this company run. When you have been in business this long you learn that some things are timeless.<br />

People want performance and high quality. They also want to do business with companies that are straightforward, honest, and fair. People<br />

want to know we care about them and will be there when they need us. At <strong>Renk</strong>, we understand these needs and we always strive to deliver.<br />

If we ever fall short in any area, we examine what went wrong and take the necessary steps to improve.<br />

Another thing we have learned is that change is constant. We have gone from horses and out-houses to robots and molecular breeding.<br />

Embracing change is important for any business that wants to succeed. Take a look at our timeline for a quick snapshot of some of the<br />

milestones we have crossed since our journey began.<br />

We continue to be on the move and will never rest on our laurels. We are busy utilizing the newest tools in genetics and harnessing modern<br />

computing. It is no longer okay to say this product is our best and “just plant it.” Plenty of seed companies offer some good products but<br />

most are challenged as to where to place them for the best results. At <strong>Renk</strong>, we do a lot of testing which is fed into our proprietary software.<br />

This gives us a higher confidence in the placement of our products.<br />

We want to be your seed company and will continue to provide you with the best products backed by people who are there for you.<br />

Thanks,<br />

CORN MANAGEMENT<br />

Modern corn hybrids are selected and bred to perform even under high-stress conditions. Maximizing the quality of the environment the hybrid<br />

is planted in and minimizing yield-robbing stresses creates a successful year. You can’t control the weather, but beyond that, there are a few<br />

things you can have a say in. Good management quickly pays for itself in increased yield.<br />

PRE-PLANT<br />

FERTILITY NEEDS<br />

Make certain that your fertility and soil pH match your yield<br />

expectations. Test your soil to know exactly what you need<br />

and follow the recommendations. Remember that nitrogen<br />

requirements for corn on corn are signifi cantly higher than for<br />

corn on rotated ground.<br />

WAIT FOR “FIT” FIELD CONDITIONS<br />

Research has shown that in most years earlier planted corn<br />

will outperform later planted corn. This should give you a<br />

desire to get the seed in as early as possible. With modern<br />

seed treatments, soil temperature is not as big of a factor as<br />

it once was, but having a good seed bed is a must. Excessive<br />

soil moisture and poor soil tilth have major impacts on seed<br />

germination, early growth and seedling health. Soil compaction<br />

and poor seed-to-soil contact set the crop up for poor stands<br />

and weak, late emerging plants.<br />

REVIEW HYBRID POSITIONING INFORMATION<br />

Make sure you have the right hybrids selected for the right<br />

ground. Ground with limited yield potential makes it hard to<br />

justify the more expensive traited hybrids. Corn on corn<br />

ground usually requires hybrids with stronger roots and stalks,<br />

along with insect protection. Some hybrids have regional<br />

tendencies. Your <strong>Renk</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> representative is your resource in<br />

getting the right products in the right ground. A great product<br />

that is not positioned accurately may only perform as well as<br />

an average product, or worse.<br />

AT PLANTING<br />

PLANTER AND MONITOR ADJUSTMENTS AND CALIBRATION<br />

Spend the time and the money here for accurate, consistent<br />

drop. An accurate population of evenly distributed seed<br />

without doubles and skips is critical for maximum yields. Even<br />

if no changes are necessary, it is worth peace of mind to<br />

know that this will not be a yield bottleneck.<br />

PLANTING DEPTH<br />

Check your planting depth often; not just when you enter your<br />

fi rst fi eld but every time you begin planting in a different fi eld<br />

condition (soil type, crop rotation, tillage type, etc.). Each of<br />

these impact the depth of seed placement. Keeping the depth<br />

between 1.75"-2.25" is critical to a uniform distribution of<br />

evenly growing plants, as well as keeping the root system of<br />

the plants deep enough to be effective and strong.<br />

CORRECT SPEED<br />

No other way to say it. Speed kills. Planting at speeds<br />

greater than the recommended zone for your planter causes<br />

planter bounce, which causes uneven seed placement. It<br />

dramatically increases the numbers of doubles and gaps;<br />

both of which lead to unproductive or underproductive plants.<br />

Speeding up may seem like the right thing to do as storm<br />

clouds come looming in, but weigh the fact that 10-20 bushels<br />

per acre yield loss is a reality and your decision could cost<br />

you $60-$100 or more for every acre that you choose to slam<br />

in quickly.<br />

GROWING SEASON<br />

SCOUT YOUR FIELDS EARLY AND OFTEN<br />

It is hard to fi x or head off problems if you are not actively<br />

looking for them. It is important to check for crusting, weeds,<br />

diseases and insects starting shortly after planting and<br />

continuing up to harvest.<br />

CONTROL THOSE WEEDS<br />

Just remember that weeds taller than 4" will reduce your yield.<br />

Starting clean with a burn-down or plowed fi eld helps the corn<br />

get ahead of the weeds and gives a good window for follow up<br />

spraying as needed.<br />

CONTROL FUNGAL DISEASES<br />

Fungal diseases can be a signifi cant yield drag and need to be<br />

scouted for. Corn on corn acres tend to have a higher rate of<br />

incidence along with fi elds that have shown a history of<br />

disease. Often a folial treatment can work wonders.<br />

Remember you normally need to order fungicides and<br />

application early.<br />

CONTROL INSECTS<br />

Using genetic traits to control Corn Borers, Rootworms, Ear<br />

Worms and Western Bean Cutworms is clearly the best<br />

insurance against damage from these yield-robbing insects.<br />

Your <strong>Renk</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> representative can prescribe the best trait<br />

options for your operation. Those not using traited insect<br />

control hybrids need to spray insecticides to control<br />

explosions in insect pest populations.<br />

ADVANTAGE INOCULANTS<br />

ADVANTAGE FORAGE ENHANCER<br />

Advantage Forage Enhancer is an inoculant of bacteria and<br />

enzymes designed to reduce dry matter loss and maintain<br />

high quality haylage and silage. Advantage does this by rapidly<br />

dropping pH to inhibit mold and yeast feeding. Less mold<br />

and yeast feeding means less heating, dry matter loss and<br />

spoilage. This preserves and helps maximize the crop with<br />

very high quality feed. Your cows will respond with higher milk<br />

production.<br />

WHY ADVANTAGE FORAGE ENHANCER<br />

IS BETTER<br />

• Contains four strains of bacteria to work in a wide pH<br />

and moisture range.<br />

• Applies high level of bacteria per gram of crop 150,000<br />

cfu/g of crop which is above the industry average level of<br />

100,000 cfu/g of crop.<br />

• Combines bacteria PLUS enzymes (most competitors do<br />

not include this critical component). Enzymes help break<br />

down some of the plant fiber to help the bacteria be more<br />

efficient.<br />

• Water-soluble products contain a buffering agent to keep<br />

the solution neutral in application tank. This keeps the<br />

bacteria viable and prevents settling in tank.<br />

• Advantage Forage enhancer comes in a dry flowable<br />

(FS370DF) and two water soluble (FS320WS and<br />

FS340WS).<br />

ADVANTAGE HMC 780B & 790B<br />

Advantage HMC is a Buchneri-based inoculant that excels in<br />

yeast control on feed-out in addition to quick fermentation<br />

after harvest. Yeast control on feed-out helps to extend bunk<br />

life with less crop thrown out due to spoilage or feeding cows<br />

partially spoiled forage. In some cases it has been known to<br />

reduce somatic cell count in milk. Ideal for high-moisture corn,<br />

but does work with silage also.<br />

ALFALFA PRODUCTS<br />

HARVXTRA ®<br />

HarvXtra®is reduced lignin alfalfa stacked with Roundup®<br />

herbicide resistance. By reducing lignin 12-15%, which<br />

is indigestible to animals, it allows the plant to put its<br />

energy more fully into digestible portions of the plant.<br />

The benefit of this is that as plants grow the HarvXtra<br />

variety will be at higher quality and digestibility than a<br />

non-HarvXtra variety at the same maturity (see graph<br />

1). This allows for higher quality feed, wider window for<br />

harvest or delaying harvest, increasing overall tonnage<br />

and maintaining proper quality.<br />

This can be a sizable benefit. By harvesting at a later<br />

maturity you can gain more tonnage and not sacrifice<br />

quality. Conservatively, you could gain ¾ ton per acre per<br />

year or 2.5 tons per bag per year. That could gain you a<br />

benefit of $375 per year.<br />

<strong>Renk</strong> uses irrigation on its fields to ensure against drought.<br />

ROUNDUP READY ®<br />

ALFALFA<br />

<strong>Renk</strong> is proud to offer Roundup Ready® alfalfa.<br />

This technology allows for spraying Roundup<br />

herbicide in your alfalfa stand for the ease of<br />

use and weed control you expect from Roundup<br />

herbicide. Using Roundup should also help keep<br />

your stand weed-free and aid in improving overall<br />

feed value.<br />

RENK PREMIUM<br />

ALFALFA PAYS!<br />

In tough economic times it is natural to look for<br />

areas to cut costs. Some people choose to use<br />

cheaper seed or extend an existing stand one<br />

more year. Unless you have some extreme<br />

circumstance, we don’t think this is a good<br />

choice. Good alfalfa pays for itself quickly and<br />

rapidly. Good alfalfa takes all of 1.5 tons of hay<br />

to pay for one bag of seed. That same bag of<br />

seed can plant well over three acres and<br />

produce over 20 tons in three years. Alfalfa like<br />

our STARGOLD or SPRINGPEARL should show a<br />

minimum of 5% more yield over most brands of<br />

alfalfa, which should net an extra 2.5 tons or<br />

$350 in three years. This will far outpace the<br />

extra $100 in seed cost.<br />

StarGold or SPRINGPEARL are the alfalfas for<br />

those serious about getting the best return out<br />

of their acres.<br />

WHEN YOU CONSIDER ALFALFA,<br />

LOOK FOR THE TOTAL PACKAGE<br />

WINTER HARDINESS<br />

If your fields are subject to poor snow cover, ice<br />

sheeting and poor drainage, you should plant<br />

a winterhardy variety. Strictly defined, winter<br />

hardiness describes the ability to withstand the<br />

extreme cold, temperature fluctuations, heaving<br />

and ice sheeting common in the upper Midwest.<br />

FORAGE QUALITY<br />

Getting the highest quality possible from<br />

your alfalfa crop requires proper management.<br />

Varieties with high natural forage quality may<br />

be harvested later without a loss of quality, while<br />

lower quality alfalfa should be cut earlier. Higher<br />

quality ratings give you a wider harvest window.<br />

Alfalfa with a feed quality rating of eight or higher<br />

can be harvested in the early flower stage vs.<br />

mid-bud for other varieties. This results in an<br />

increase in tonnage and no loss of quality.<br />

DISEASE RESISTANCE<br />

Fields with poor drainage require a stronger<br />

disease package to maintain a quality stand<br />

over a period of years. Select varieties for a<br />

high score (30 is the highest possible score) to<br />

ensure a long productive stand.<br />

MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR ALFALFA<br />

We at <strong>Renk</strong> clearly feel we have the best alfalfa<br />

on the market, but good management is key<br />

to getting the highest return. Here are a few key<br />

points to remember in raising alfalfa:<br />

SEEDING<br />

Alfalfa likes a firm seed bed and should be<br />

planted very shallow, ¼” to ½” on medium and<br />

heavy soils and ½” to 1” on sandy soil. <strong>Seed</strong>ing<br />

rate should be around 12-15 pounds per acre<br />

(use higher rates if seedbed is in poor shape).<br />

Direct seeding is recommended unless fodder<br />

is needed or you are planting highly erodible<br />

ground. Due to autotoxicity, alfalfa fields should<br />

be out of alfalfa for at least one year before<br />

reseeding with alfalfa.<br />

FERTILIZER<br />

Alfalfa performs the best when soil pH is 6.5<br />

to 7.5. In most cases, this requires lime to<br />

be applied at least one year before going into<br />

the ground with alfalfa. Proper pH improves<br />

availability of phosphorous and potassium and<br />

increases activity of nitrogen-fixing Rhizobium.<br />

Having adequate phosphorous the seeding year<br />

is key for establishment. Potassium levels should<br />

be closely monitored throughout stand life as<br />

this nutrient likely has the most effect on overall<br />

yield. Each ton of alfalfa removes the equivalent<br />

of 150 pounds of 0-10-40 fertilizer. The nitrogen<br />

needs of alfalfa should be adequately taken care<br />

of by Rhizobium bacteria that colonize the roots<br />

and fix nitrogen from the air.<br />

LIFE OF STAND<br />

When alfalfa stands fall below 40 stems per<br />

square foot (at 6" growth), yield potential<br />

becomes limited and no longer profitable.<br />

Rotating the field is highly recommended at this<br />

point.<br />

CUTTING SCHEDULE<br />

For the best combination of high-yield and<br />

high-quality, first cutting should be taken at bud<br />

stage (mid to late May). The second cutting<br />

should be 28-33 days later or mid-bud stage.<br />

The third cutting 38-55 days later or 25% bloom.<br />

Leave only 1” of stubble, if possible, with your<br />

equipment. An optional fourth cut can be taken<br />

mid-to late-October after a killing frost, but 6” of<br />

stubble should be left behind to help prevent a<br />

winterkill. No cutting is recommended from<br />

September 1 to mid-October, as this leaves<br />

the stand vulnerable to not having enough root<br />

reserves to weather the winter if a killing frost<br />

comes in that time period.<br />

AFTER HARVEST<br />

Losses after harvest can be as high as 30%,<br />

so following proper management is important.<br />

Keep equipment tuned to minimize mechanical<br />

losses and follow proper moisture guidelines,<br />

bale hay at 18-20% and ensile at 50-70%. Silage<br />

inoculant can be very effective in preserving<br />

silage quality (see our Advantage information, pg.<br />

29), especially when field drying times are under<br />

two days.<br />

PEST CONTROL<br />

Weed control is very important the seeding year,<br />

but after that, the return on spraying is less<br />

economical. Spraying older stands does little to<br />

change tonnage, but may improve quality based<br />

on weed species being killed.<br />

The main insect pest to monitor in the Midwest<br />

is the Potato Leafhopper, which moves up from<br />

the south and does damage to the second and<br />

third crop. Normally, it is economically justifiable<br />

to spray once or twice for Leafhoppers.<br />

management, contact our office for a<br />

should help in more precise ordering of<br />

seed.<br />

Bulk boxes are targeted to have 6,300,000<br />

seeds per box (45-140,000 seed units).<br />

In cases where seed is too large, we will<br />

put in as much seed as we can fit and<br />

reduce the price according to the amount of<br />

seed in box.<br />

<strong>Renk</strong> uses color sorters to pick out seed that is not uniform in color.<br />

SEED TREATMENT OPTIONS<br />

<strong>Renk</strong> has two treatment options available:<br />

BASE PACKAGE<br />

Controls soil borne diseases. Specifi cally-<br />

Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, Pythium, and early<br />

season control of Phytopthora.<br />

Controls the following major insects: Bean<br />

Leaf Beetles, Wireworms, <strong>Seed</strong>corn Maggot<br />

and early season control of Aphids.<br />

PLANTING RECOMMENDATIONS<br />

Contains a bacterial inoculant to give plant<br />

ability to obtain nitrogen from atmosphere.<br />

ILEVO PACKAGE<br />

Same as Base Package plus added<br />

protection against Sudden Death Syndrome<br />

and Soybean Cyst Nematodes.<br />

Ideal depth for planting soybeans is ¾ inches. Maximum depth is 1½ inches. Soybeans<br />

must be able to push the entire seed out of the ground. Putting the seed too deep<br />

under less than ideal conditions can prevent the seed from doing this.<br />

Planting population should be around 150,000 to 200,000 for narrow row planting<br />

(15” or less). For wider rows the population should be in the 130,000 to 170,000<br />

range. Population should be adjusted up or down based on condition of seed bed and<br />

ability of the planter to put seeds at proper depth and spacing.<br />

NEW SEED VERSUS BIN RUN<br />

WHEN YOU BUY RENK SOYBEANS YOU GET SOME HUGE BENEFITS OVER USING SAVED SEEDS.<br />

NEWEST GENETICS<br />

To keep soybean genetics advancing in yield and to bring<br />

new traits to the market costs a lot of money. Your purchase<br />

of soybeans funds this costly development process. It is<br />

estimated that genetically modifi ed soybeans increased the<br />

national farm income by $1.56 billion. Past funding has<br />

allowed the development of Genuity ® Roundup Ready 2<br />

Yield ® and is funding the development of drought-resistant<br />

soybeans among other new technologies. Everyone benefi ts<br />

with you getting higher yielding varieties with new traits, and<br />

we can keep our breeding work moving forward.<br />

HIGHEST QUALITY SEED<br />

Our growing and processing of seed revolves around giving<br />

you pure, high germinating, weed-free seed. Bin run seed<br />

will never match the quality of seed we can produce. Don’t<br />

take the risk of putting seed in the ground with unknown<br />

germination and/or purity. We also maintain a full stable of<br />

varieties across different maturities to meet your seed needs.<br />

WARRANTY BENEFITS<br />

Weather and planting conditions can make even the<br />

best seed fail. When this happens we stand behind our<br />

soybeans. If you have stand issues after planting, we can<br />

get you new seed at a discounted price.<br />

NEW SEED PAYS<br />

When you factor in all of the above, you can see a defi nite<br />

benefi t to using new seed. University studies show a 1.2-5.9<br />

bushel advantage. Don’t forget the hidden costs of bin run<br />

beans: loss of grain to sell, cleaning cost, transportation/<br />

storage costs, no warranty and higher planting rates to<br />

offset lower germination.<br />

PHYTOPHTHORA RESISTANCE<br />

1A Resistant to races 1-2, 10-11, 13-18, 24<br />

1C Resistant to races 1-3, 6-11, 13, 15, 17, 21, 23, 24<br />

<strong>Seed</strong> containing a patented trait can only be used to plant a single commercial crop from which seed cannot be saved and replanted.<br />

Examples of seed containing a patented trait include but are not limited to Genuity ® Roundup Ready 2 Yield ® soybeans and Roundup<br />

Ready 2 Xtend ® soybeans. Additional information and limitations on the use of these products are provided in the Monsanto Technology<br />

Stewardship Agreement, the Monsanto Technology Use Guide and Roundup Ready 2 Xtend ® Soybean Technology Use Guide Supplement.<br />
