Dakota (RM 106)

Dakota is named for her top-producing zone: South Dakota south of I-90.

A proven high-yielding hybrid capable of producing 300 bu yields in SD, MN, and NE. Extremely healthy during the season: fast to develop, excellent plant health and ear retention. Holds ears in the wind when other hybrids cannot. Not prone to greensnap; suits the west well. Takes GLS and Goss’s Wilt well. Use irrigated or dryland. Will follow soybeans, wheat or corn. Normal plant but at harvest will be a stalk and an ear. Great for residue management in 220-300 bu environments. Plant 1500 ppa higher. Works well in no-till and average cold soil conditions. Does well on variable to better soils. Other hybrids recommended for compacted clays.

Good pairings are Dusty (RM 106) and Jessica (RM 110).
