Dual Purpose
Grain/Silage Corn
Viking GS Hybrids
What are Viking GS hybrids? Simply put, these are
organic dual-purpose grain hybrids that also produce
exceptional quality and/or tonnage for silage. We test
our hybrids, in the field and in the lab, for silage quantity
& quality against leading silage hybrid genetics at similar
maturities. Only those hybrids that show consistently
excellent tonnage and quality get the GS designation.
Why GS? Because grain has energy. Our GS hybrids are
very high-yielding grain hybrids, so you are going to get a
lot of grain in your silage, which equates to higher energy.
GS hybrids have an optimal grain-to-stover ratio and have
excellent standability compared to low-lignin specialty
silage hybrids.
