Carlene (RM 104)

Carlene is a long-eared “slender flex” eared hybrid. Use standard planting populations for area, up to 2000-2500 plants higher to push best yields. Not for the lightest soils nor the tightest clays; likes anything in between, especially darker clays and loams that handle 26-30,000 ppa. Not a racehorse hybrid but will handle some stress conditions. Works following corn, soybeans, wheat, and alfalfa. Great livestock feeding option with up to 13% higher protein than average hybrids. Kernels may have a genetic dark spot where the silk attaches; feed this hybrid if your elevator has an attitude.
Pairs well with Vanessa (RM 103) and Dakota or Dusty (both RM 106).
