We have been planting Federal Hybrids seed for
the last 5 years. We plant 450 acres of corn and
450 acres of soybeans each year. There is a good
variety of hybrids available in my maturity
range, but Federal Hybrids 4880 VT2 Pro RIB
has been excellent... even in cold weather.
Distributor Scott Stadheim provides exceptional
service. Scott works in conjunction with
President Tim Butikofer and Vice President Kent
Banwart to make things happen; they go above
and beyond. Federal Hybrids and Scott put their
seed into the F.I.R.S.T. trials and University
trials so we can see just how well their seed
does in these trials. This information is very
useful to all growers. Federal Hybrids seed can
be put up against any other seed brands, and it
will either be as good as or beat it!
