CORN • ALFALFA • SOYBEANS2014 SEED GUIDE

2 800.352.5247 • 507.373.3161 • www.alseed.com

In many parts of the upper Midwest, 2013 has been tough on farmers. Winter took a heavy toll on alfalfa and winter grains. An exceptionally late, wet spring pushed planting date back by as much as a month—if the crops got in at all. In some southeast Minnesota and northeast Iowa counties, 20%-25% of potential crop acres weren’t planted.

That, in turn, led many of you to switch hybrids and varieties. There was also an unprecedented interest in cover crops for all those prevented planting acres. We were busy and thankful for our extensive experience with the wide variety of cover crop options we handle. Finally, cold and wet turned hot and dry, with many areas going six to eight weeks without rain.

I’m ready to move on to 2014. How about you?

Anticipating a new seasonWe’re well positioned to move ahead. Despite the difficulties 2013 presented, Viking Seed continued to experience record strong growth. In 2012-13 we saw our corn sales grow 14%—and that despite the fact that we had more corn returned than any year in our history due to prevented planting.

Why such strong growth?My answer: For all the reasons that make Viking brand seeds a smart choice for farmers looking for strong performance and knowledgeable support at a very competitive price.

CommitmentWe’re committed to helping our customers enjoy success in a new production year. As evidence, we’ve extended our 9% seed discount to Nov. 22, giving you more time to get the best possible deal. And, for the first time we’re offering JDF prime minus 1% plus Early Pay discounts.

ChoiceWe offer true choice. Because we work with all the major breeding programs in the U.S. (and some of the small ones as well), our germplasm pipeline is incredibly wide. Because we’re independent, we can offer you choices from all these sources that truly fit your acres and the way you farm them. If you want SmartStax,® Roundup Ready,® LibertyLink,® or conventional options, we have them.

PerformanceViking seed conducts our own replicated testing, comparing the newest genetics and traits so we can offer you the best options available. Year after year, Viking brand hybrids and varieties compete head to head with the best, frequently turning in the top yields in university and F.I.R.S.T. trials.

ValueEverything we’ve listed translates to value. Now add in excellent return on investment, expert agronomic advice, responsive service, and simple, consistent, fair pricing (everybody pays the same price—it doesn’t get any fairer than that), and you can understand why more people buy our seed every year.

Word does get around. Find out what your neighbors are talking about and try Viking brand corn and soybeans in 2014. It’s a great way to start a new year.

Reasons for Optimism

Viking Corn & NorthStar Genetics

The first year of the Viking Corn & NorthStar Genetics partnership was an unqualified success, and we are excited about the future!

As many of you know, last year NorthStar Genetics became a distributor of Viking Corn. NorthStar Genetics of Wanamingo, MN is the largest privately-held seed company in Minnesota. NorthStar began marketing Viking hybrids to corn growers in Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota in 2012.

For our existing customers, nothing has changed. You will continue to buy your seed directly from us, or from one of our dealers, as you have in the past. But this arrangement has been extremely positive for Viking Seed and for growers in NorthStar Genetics’ primary area of sales (North Dakota,

South Dakota, and the northern two-thirds of Minnesota). This partnership benefits Viking Seed because, as our sales increase, we can afford to spend more money on research and improve our product offerings. This partnership benefits the customers of NorthStar in the following ways:• PERFORMANCE We are excited to offer a lineup of corn that is second to none.• REFUGE-IN-A-BAG SIMPLICITY Of the 20 corn hybrids (78-day to 104-day) NorthStar is

offering this year, 16 do not require a separate refuge.• REAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE NEEDS OF

NORTHERN CORN GROWERS Growing corn in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota

is not like growing corn in Iowa or Illinois. NorthStar Genetics understands this because our people live and work here.

• CORN PLOTS WHERE YOU PLANT CORN NorthStar Genetics is putting in their own replicated corn

plots in SD, ND, and northern MN to test their hybrids where they are actually going to be planted.

To contact NorthStar Genetics, please call 507-824-2878.

Albert Lea Seed Offers Viking Brand Seed Corn Hybrids With Agrisure® GT (Glyphosate Tolerant)

Agrisure GT provides tolerance to in-crop applications of glyphosate-based herbicides (including Roundup®) with a full range of assurances which do not limit a grower’s glyphosate brand selection.

Corn hybrids with Agrisure GT exhibit outstanding tolerance to in-crop applications of glyphosate-based herbicides—the active ingredient in Roundup and Touchdown® herbicides.

Corn hybrids with Agrisure GT are carefully selected to provide not only outstanding glyphosate tolerance via the trait but also to preserve the genetic potential of the hybrid via the proven inbred line conversion process. This dual focus results in new choices of corn hybrids that deliver best-in-class performance.

Viking Corn Hybrids With LibertyLink® Herbicide Resistance

“If you’ve got a lambsquarter problem or a waterhemp problem, I’ll take a full rate of Ignite over a full rate of Roundup hands down. The Ignite just does a much better job.”—Huntley, MN • Viking LibertyLink (Herculex® and Bt11) hybrids contain

a gene which confers resistance to IGNITE® (Liberty®) herbicide.

• IGNITE is a contact herbicide which is labeled to be sprayed over the top of LibertyLink corn from emergence through the V-7 stage of growth or a height of 24 inches (and 24” to 36” corn with drop nozzles). Rainfast four hours after application. Applications should be made between dawn and two hours before sunset. It has no residual activity or carryover.

• IGNITE is a non-selective herbicide that controls a wide range of grass and broadleaf weeds, including wooly cupgrass, velvetleaf, cocklebur, lambsquarters, and pigweed. All herbicides labeled for use on conventional corn may also be used for LibertyLink corn.

• Clearly mark those fields which are planted to a LibertyLink crop to avoid the possibility of a herbicide application error. Due to various genetic causes, up to a 1%-2% stand loss can result when IGNITE herbicide is sprayed on a LibertyLink hybrid.

• The application of IGNITE herbicide to a non- LibertyLink crop will result in serious crop injury and yield loss. Read and follow label directions carefully.

The conventional wisdom states that rotated fields are the ideal choice for conventional corn. However, Casey Staloch knows many farmers in his area who have placed conventional corn in a corn-on-corn rotation and done very well.

“Good management is key,” Casey adds. “You have to do a good job on the other points on this list, and when you do, you can grow conventional corn in just about any situation.”

One common-sense suggestion: Although rootworm pressure can often be addressed with insecticides, as we’ll note later, avoid planting conventional corn in fields where you expect heavy rootworm pressure if you don’t have the means to manage the pest.

This is just as critical for conventional corn as it is for any hybrid. Your seed professional will need to know your rotation, soil type, planting population, yield target, and end use in order to match the correct conventional hybrid to the right field.

Don’t stack the deck. Give your conventional corn a fair comparison by planting some on your good ground. Don’t put it on your poorest ground and expect it to compete with the stacked products you put on your most productive acres.

With herbicide resistance on the rise and the current push to vary modes of action, most farmers are already using many of the weed control components they would use with conventional corn. The only significant difference would be the absence of glyphosate.

Always consult your agronomist or dealer before implementing any weed control program, but here are a couple of examples of programs that will provide excellent weed control in conventional corn.• Zidua® pre-emerge, then coming over the top with Impact® and atrazine• Surpass® pre-emerge, then coming over the top with Laudis® and atrazine• For a total pre-emerge program, use Corvus® and atrazine (Corvus is currently labeled in IA but not in MN.)

Rootworm control is one of the keys to success with conventional corn hybrids. As we mentioned above, consider field history when deciding where to place conventional hybrids. But in most cases, excellent rootworm control can be achieved in conventional corn with the correct insecticide program.

Once again, always consult your agronomist or dealer before implementing an insecticide program. Here are a few options that have delivered good results against rootworms.• Aztec® dry granular • Force®, a liquid that can be injected at planting• Capture® LFR®, which can be tank-mixed with your liquid fertilizer

How to Plant and Manage Conventional CornYou might assume that there is some mystery involved in raising conventional corn. That really isn’t the case. Corn, whether traited or conventional, requires solid management. There are four basic management considerations that need to be addressed when raising conventional corn.

3. Herbicide management

4. Rootworm management

Conventional Corn and “Non-GMO” Contracts

We do not guarantee any of these conventional corn hybrids to be 100% free of GMOs (genetically modified organisms or, more accurately, corn traits derived from recombinant DNA technology). Furthermore, we cannot guarantee that grain harvested from Viking conventional hybrids will be marketable as “non-GMO” grain.

Conventional Corn Hybrids

Unlike most companies, we are increasing the number of conventional hybrids we offer. Why? Because our customers have asked for more conventional corn choices.

“Does conventional corn yield?” The short answer is: YES! In the absence of insect pressure, a well-adapted conventional corn hybrid will yield just as much as any trait-stacked hybrid. Don’t believe it? Look at the 2010, 2011, and 2012 University of Minnesota Varietal Trial Results in the southern locations. Two of the highest-yielding hybrids were conventional (one of them was Viking 60-01N). In 2011, Viking 60-01N took 1st place overall in the Iowa State University Northeast District Early-Season Test (out of 50 hybrids, including Dekalb 52-59).

Viking PuraMaize® HybridsPeace of mind for your non-GMO corn contract.

We are excited to offer our first Viking PuraMaize hybrid for 2014 planting! Viking 10-07PM is a conventional, non-traited 107-day corn hybrid that cannot be cross-pollinated by non-PuraMaize corn.

Viking Hybrids has supported the development and testing of this powerful new non-GMO tool for the last 5 years. Developed through traditional selective breeding, the PuraMaize gene-blocking system prevents cross-fertilization from neighboring fields by strongly favoring its own pollen. Highly effective in protecting corn from GMO pollen drift, PuraMaize delivers peace of mind by preserving the non-GMO status of your corn.

PuraMaize has been thoroughly tested over multiple years in dozens of replicated locations. In side-by-side field tests with GMO corn, PuraMaize virtually eliminates contamination.

For the 2014 planting season, we offer only one PuraMaize Hybrid. It is a high-yielding, consistent hybrid with good all-around agronomics. We recommend ordering early as our supply is limited.

Winter Survival Index (WSI) —A standardized test that measures the ability of alfalfa varieties to withstand severe winters. Varieties are rated from 1 (superior) to 4 (adequate). If a variety does not have a WSI rating, you can use the Fall Dormancy as a guide. The most persistent alfalfas are those with low WSIs and good pest and disease resistance.

Fall Dormancy (FD) —The measure of how tall an alfalfa plant grows after the last cutting and before going dormant for the season. An alfalfa with a lower number goes dormant earlier in the fall.

Disease & Pest Resistance—Poorly drained fields require alfalfas with better disease resistance (especially Phytophthora and Aphanomyces). Select varieties with superior disease resistance to ensure a long, productive stand.

ResistanceHR = Highly Resistant R = Resistant MR = Moderately ResistantLR = Low Resistance S = SusceptibleDRI = Disease Resistance Index

(30 = highest, 6 = lowest)

Forage Quality—Varieties that have a high Relative Feed Quality (RFQ), such as the WL 363HQ, WL 354HQ, WL 353LH, Viking 370HD, and Profusion Hybrid have a wider harvest window.

WSI = Winter Survival Index FD = Fall Dormancy DRI = Disease Resistance Index (Lower number indicates better survival) (Higher number indicates later dormancy, faster regrowth after cutting)

Do you want higher yields in corn, soybeans, wheat…?

Casey Staloch farms and sells seed, but his primary business is working with farmers to maximize yield. Over the past several years he has helped growers across the U.S. make more money per acre by properly using biologicals such as Agri-Gro® Foliar Blend and Agri-Gro® Ultra and micronutrients such as AgriGuardian™ Micro Mix, AgriGuardian™ Moly, and AgriGuardian™ Zinc.• Over a million acres were sprayed with Foliar Blend

and Micro Mix in 2011 (in the U.S. alone).• Over 95% of the farmers who used Foliar Blend or

Micro Mix in 2010 used them again in 2011.• A two-year study using Foliar Blend conducted by

scientists at the University of Missouri showed an

average yield increase of 9 bu/acre in soybeans and 17 bu/acre in Roundup Ready® corn.

• Also at the University of Missouri, Micro Mix alone increased yields by 7.7 bushels on good ground and, when used with AgriGuardian Moly on a poor soil (soil tested low in most nutrients including molybdenum), was able to increase soybean yields by 14.4 bushels, using less than a pint of these combined products and no other fertilizers.

• During the 2011 growing season in Barnum, Iowa, a grower had documented soybean yields in excess of 70 bu/acre over 550 acres using these products when most soybeans in the area were yielding only in the 50 bu/acre.

• Virtually every soil test in the Midwest in 2011 was low in one or more micronutrients (including molybdenum) contained in AgriGuardian™ Micro Mix, AgriGuardian™ Moly, and AgriGuardian™ Zinc.

To learn how you can get consistent high yields by using Agri-Gro and AgriGuardian products and put more money in your pocket, contact us or Casey Staloch at 507-373-1559 or [email protected] for more information.
