Text above image says "Unconventional Hybrids vs GMO genetics with CRW trait. Corn following corn rotation. No Insecticide." Image is of the washed roots of two corn plants. The left roots, labeled "Durayield" show darker colored brace roots that are longer and show no sign of damage. The main root mass is large and shows very minimal CRW feeding. The right root mass is labeled "National Brand". It has two rows of brace roots which do show some feeding. The main root mass exhibits some signs of CRW feeding and does not look as full as the root mass of the Durayield.
About Durayield Products
We believe in maintaining the integrity of corn as nature intended. Why make life more complicated than it already is by adding genes from other species when the corn genome already contains the defense mechanisms needed?  That is why we utilize Durayield traits, which are selected from within the corn genome by using traditional, specialized plant breeding methods.  Durayield traits are additive so each generation of Durayield will be better than the one before it.  You do not need to worry about pest adaptation to Durayield because Durayield evolves, too—naturally.

Each Durayield product is non-GMO with elevated levels of tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses that can occur during the growing season.

Durayield products:

  • Can be grown at lower plant populations per acre versus other products to achieve maximum yield.
  • Allow for more efficient use of available water and nutrients.
  • Have natural insect tolerance.
  • Have natural drought tolerance.
  • Have no market restrictions because these products are conventional.
Photo is of two rows of corn side by side in a field with dry wheat stubble and some low growing weeds on the ground. The corn plants in the left row are mostly green with a few brown leaves at the very bottom and have large ears of corn attached to the stalks. The corn plants in the right row are mostly brown with very little leaves left. They do have large-looking ears of corn visible form some plants. Hanging on the first plant of the right row is a sign. There is an arrow pointing left with the text "Queen - RM 95" and an arrow pointing right with the text "National brand - RM 97." The sign also says "Gettysburg, SD 2021."
Two corn hybrids side by side. The leaves of the left hybrid, a Durayield hybrid, are open and look healthy. The text above this hybrid says "Durayield Breeding Methods." The leaves of the right hybrid, not a Durayield product, are rolling closed and slightly gray from drought stress. The image text above this hybrid says "Current industry development methods."
