LET US TAKE CARE OF YOUR SEED.

We know you have a lot of things to deal with on your farm. We’re here to make sure

your seed isn’t one of them.

Since 1846, Renk Seed has worked closely with farmers and our mission has always

been to take care of your seed as if it were being planted on our own farm. To do

this, we focus on delivering the best products on the market.

We’ve made signifi cant investments in research and technology to ensure that our

products provide the best yields. What’s more, we’ve cultivated relationships with

biotech companies to deliver genetics and gene-inserted technologies that improve

the returns on your farm.

Farming has changed a lot since we started, and Renk Seed has evolved along with

it. We’ve adapted to new innovations and updated our facilities to ensure that you’re

getting products of the highest quality that we stand behind proudly.

We’re equally as serious about customer service. From over six generations of

farming, we’ve learned that farmers want to work with people they know and

trust. Because of this, building relationships with our dealers and customers has

consistently been our fi rst priority.

In the end, we’re here to reduce the number of things you have to worry about so you

can focus on what makes you money; like marketing your grain, taking care of your

livestock, scouting your fi elds and making sure your equipment is optimal.

These can be challenging times. When you partner with Renk, you know that we’re

a company that provides top-notch technology, expertise and the kind of customer

service that only comes with more than 170 years of experience.

You’ve got enough to worry about. Let us take care of your seed.

CORN MANAGEMENT

Modern corn hybrids are selected and bred to perform even under high-stress conditions. Maximizing the quality of the environment the hybrid

is planted in while minimizing yield-robbing stresses creates a successful year. You can’t control the weather but, beyond that, there are a few

things you can have a say in. Good management quickly pays for itself in increased yield.

PRE-PLANT

FERTILITY NEEDS

Make certain that your fertility and soil pH match your yield

expectations. Test your soil to know exactly what you need

and follow the recommendations. Remember that nitrogen

requirements for corn on corn are signifi cantly higher than

for corn on rotated ground.

WAIT FOR “FIT” FIELD CONDITIONS

Research has shown that in most years earlier planted corn

will outperform later planted corn. This should give you a

desire to get the seed in as early as possible. With modern

seed treatments, soil temperature is not as big of a factor as

it once was, but having a good seed bed is a must. Excessive

soil moisture and poor soil tilth have major impacts on seed

germination, early growth and seedling health. Soil compaction

and poor seed-to-soil contact set the crop up for poor stands

and weak, late emerging plants.

REVIEW HYBRID POSITIONING INFORMATION

Make sure you have the right hybrids selected for the right

ground. Ground with limited yield potential makes it hard to

justify the more expensive traited hybrids. Corn on corn

ground usually requires hybrids with stronger roots and stalks

along with insect protection. Also, some hybrids have regional

tendencies. Your Renk Seed representative is your resource in

getting the right products in the right ground. A great product

that is not positioned accurately may only perform as well as

an average product, or even worse.

AT PLANTING

PLANTER AND MONITOR ADJUSTMENTS AND CALIBRATION

Spend the time and the money here for accurate, consistent

drop. An accurate population of evenly distributed seed

without doubles and skips is critical for maximum yields.

Even if no changes are necessary, it is worth peace of mind

to know that there will not be a yield bottleneck.

PLANTING DEPTH

Check your planting depth often, not just when you enter your

fi rst fi eld, but every time you begin planting in a different fi eld

condition (soil type, crop rotation, tillage type, etc). Each of

these impacts the depth of seed placement. Keeping the

depth between 1.75"-2.25" is critical to a uniform distribution

of evenly growing plants as well as keeping the root system of

the plants deep enough to be effective and strong.

CORRECT SPEED

No other way to say it: Speed kills. Planting at speeds

greater than the recommended zone for your planter causes

planter bounce which results in uneven seed placement. This

dramatically increases the numbers of doubles and gaps;

these lead to unproductive or underproductive plants.

Speeding may cost 10-20 bushels per acre yield loss.

GROWING SEASON

SCOUT YOUR FIELDS EARLY AND OFTEN

It is hard to fi x or head off problems if you are not actively

looking for them. It is important to check for crusting, weeds,

diseases and insects starting shortly after planting and

continuing up to harvest.

CONTROL THOSE WEEDS

Just remember that weeds taller than 4" will reduce your yield.

Starting clean with a burn-down or plowed fi eld helps the corn

get ahead of the weeds and gives a good window for follow up

spraying as needed.

CONTROL FUNGAL DISEASES

Fungal diseases can be a signifi cant yield drag and need to be

scouted for. Corn on corn acres tend to have a higher rate of

incidence, along with fi elds that have shown a history of

disease. Often a folial treatment can work wonders.

Remember you normally need to order fungicides and contract

application early.

CONTROL INSECTS

Using genetic traits to control Corn Borers, Rootworms,

Ear Worms and Western Bean Cutworms is clearly the best

insurance against damage from these yield-robbing insects.

Your Renk Seed representative can prescribe the best trait

options for your operation. Those not using traited insect

control hybrids need to spray insecticides to control

explosions of insect pest populations.

CORN TECHNOLOGIES

SMARTSTAX®

RIB COMPLETE® CORN BLEND

The fi rst eight-gene insertion that

gives maximum protection

against insects above and below

ground and also resistant to

Roundup and LibertyLink ®

herbicide.

SmartStax ® gives three modes of

Corn Borer control along with two

unique modes to control Corn

Rootworm. In addition, SmartStax ®

also has control of Earworm,

Fall Armyworm, Western Bean

Cutworm and Black Cutworm.

R.I.B. stands for Refuge In the

Bag. Five percent of seed in each

bag contains no resistance,

which meets Federal Refuge

requirements. It allows you to

not have to plant a separate

refuge hybrid.

DROUGHTGARD® HYBRIDS

WITH VT DOUBLE PRO® RIB

COMPLETE® CORN BLEND

The DroughtGard Hybrids are

part of a system combining

germplasm selected for its

drought-tolerant characteristics,

the drought-tolerant biotechnology

trait and agronomic

recommendations.

The system is designed to help

the corn plant so it can use less

water when drought stress

occurs. This hydroeffi ciency

creates the opportunity to

conserve soil moisture and

can help minimize yield loss

from drought conditions.

DroughtGard Hybrids enhance

yield potential when water is

limited. Even when water is not

scarce, the trait performs

comparable to other seed

technologies.

VT DOUBLE PRO® RIB

COMPLETE® CORN BLEND

VT Double Pro ® couples Roundup

Ready ® 2 herbicide resistance

with dual modes of above ground

insect protection. It provides

control for Corn Borer, Corn

Earworm and Fall Armyworm.

R.I.B. stands for Refuge In the

Bag. Five percent of seed in

each bag contains no resistance,

which meets Federal Refuge

requirements. It allows you to not

have to plant a separate refuge

hybrid.

ROUNDUP READY®

CORN 2

Roundup Ready ® Corn 2 offers

superior in-plant tolerance to

Roundup PowerMAX ® , providing

the grower with better crop safety

and added fl exibility to apply the

right rate for the right weed with a

wider window of application.

TRECEPTA®

Trecepta contains Roundup Ready®

2 technology, which allows the corn

plant to withstand glyphosate

herbicide applications. By reducing

weed pressure, plants have access

to the nutrients and water they need.

Trecepta technology reduces yield

loss by protecting your corn crop

from a wide range of pests.

Different modes of action give you

more complete control against

above-ground insects that can

infl ict serious crop damage.

LIBERTYLINK®

LibertyLink ® (LL) herbicide

resistance gives corn the ability

to survive applications of

LibertyLink ® herbicide. LibertyLink ®

herbicide kills weeds quickly and

safely with broad spectrum

control of some of the toughest

weeds such as Water Hemp,

Velvetleaf and Ragweed.

ADVANTAGE INOCULANTS

ADVANTAGE FORAGE ENHANCER

Advantage Forage Enhancer is an inoculant of bacteria and

enzymes designed to reduce dry matter loss and maintain

high quality haylage and silage. Advantage does this by rapidly

dropping pH to inhibit mold and yeast feeding. Less mold and

yeast feeding means less heating, dry matter loss and spoilage.

This preserves and helps maximize the crop with very high

quality feed. Your cows will respond with higher milk production.

WHY ADVANTAGE FORAGE ENHANCER

IS BETTER

• Contains four strains of bacteria to work in a wide pH

and moisture range.

• Applies high level of bacteria per gram of crop 150,000

cfu/g of crop which is above the industry average level of

100,000 cfu/g of crop.

• Combines bacteria PLUS enzymes (most competitors do not

include this critical component). Enzymes help break down

some of the plant fiber to help the bacteria be more efficient.

• Water-soluble products contain a buffering agent to keep

the solution neutral in application tank. This keeps the

bacteria viable and prevents settling in tank.

• Advantage Forage Enhancer comes in a dry flowable (FS370DF)

and two water soluble (FS320WS and FS340WS) options.

ADVANTAGE HMC 780B & 790B

Advantage HMC is a Buchneri-based inoculant that excels in

yeast control on feed-out in addition to quick fermentation

after harvest. Yeast control on feed-out helps to extend bunk

life with less crop thrown out due to spoilage or feeding cows

partially spoiled forage. In some cases it has been known to

reduce somatic cell count in milk. Ideal for high-moisture corn,

but does also work with silage.

ADVANTAGE MT550CL **NEW**

ADVANTAGE MT550CL is a new addition to the Advantage

lineup. This is an inoculant that includes scientifically

selected lactic acid producing bacteria formulated to drive

an efficient fermentation to retain crop nutrients with Bacillus

subtilis bacteria to manage clostridia growth in forage.

When forage (mostly alfalfa haylage) is ensiled at a high

moisture level (>65% moisture) there is a risk the natural

clostridia bacteria in the forage could dominate the

fermentation and produce butyric acid as a by-product.

Haylage with a clostridial fermentation can be identified by

high moisture content, dark green appearance and a strong,

offensive butyric odor. Since the production of butyric acid by

the clostridia is inefficient, dry matter losses tend to be high

and poor palatability makes it difficult to meet the energy

requirements of early lactating cattle. To compensate for this

energy loss the cow may enter ketosis, where they metabolize

HARVXTRA ®

HarvXtra® is reduced lignin alfalfa stacked with

Roundup®herbicide resistance. By reducing lignin

12-15%, which is indigestible to animals, it allows

the plant to put its energy more fully into

digestible portions of the plant. The benefi t of

this is that as plants grow the HarvXtra variety

will be at higher quality and digestibility than a

non-HarvXtra variety at the same maturity (see

graph 1). This allows for higher quality feed with a

wider window for harvest or delayed harvest, thus

increasing overall tonnage while maintaining

proper quality.

This can be a sizable benefi t. By harvesting at a

later maturity you can gain more tonnage and not

sacrifi ce quality. Conservatively, you could gain ¾

ton per acre per year or 2.5 tons per bag per year.

This could gain you a benefi t of $375 per year.

HarvXtra®: Enjoy increased overall tonnage without sacrificing quality.

ROUNDUP READY ®

ALFALFA

Renk is proud to offer Roundup Ready®

alfalfa. This technology allows for spraying

Roundup herbicide in your alfalfa stand for

the ease of use and weed control you

expect from Roundup herbicide. Using

Roundup should also help keep your stand

weed free and aid in improving overall feed

value.

RENK PREMIUM ALFALFA PAYS!

In tough economic times it is natural to

look for areas to cut costs. Some people

choose to use cheaper seed or extend an

existing stand one more year. Unless you

have some extreme circumstance, we

don’t think this is a wise choice. Good

alfalfa pays for itself quickly and rapidly.

Good alfalfa takes only 1.5 tons of hay

to pay for one bag of seed. That same bag

of seed can plant well over three acres and

produce over 20 tons in three years.

Alfalfa products like our STARGOLD or

SPRINGPEARL should show a minimum of

5% more yield over most brands of alfalfa

which should net an extra 2.5 tons or

$350 in three years. This will far outpace

the extra $100 in seed cost.

STARGOLD or SPRINGPEARL are the

alfalfas for those serious about getting

the best return out of their acres.

WHEN YOU CONSIDER ALFALFA,

LOOK FOR THE TOTAL PACKAGE

WINTER HARDINESS

If your fields are subject to poor snow

cover, ice sheeting and poor drainage,

you should plant a winter hardy variety.

Strictly defined, winter hardiness describes

the ability to withstand the extreme cold,

temperature fluctuations, heaving and ice

sheeting common in the upper Midwest.

FORAGE QUALITY

Getting the highest quality possible from

your alfalfa crop requires proper

management. Varieties with high natural

forage quality may be harvested later

without a loss of quality while lower quality

alfalfa should be cut earlier. Higher quality

ratings give you a wider harvest window.

Alfalfa with a feed quality rating of eight or

higher can be harvested in the early flower

stage vs. mid-bud for other varieties. This

results in an increase in tonnage and no

loss of quality.

DISEASE RESISTANCE

Fields with poor drainage require a stronger

disease package to maintain a quality

stand over a period of years. Select

varieties for a high score (30 is the highest

possible score) to ensure a long productive

stand.

MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR ALFALFA

We at Renk clearly feel we have the best

alfalfa on the market but good management

is crucial to getting the highest return. Here

are a few key points to remember in raising

alfalfa:

SEEDING

Alfalfa likes a firm seed bed and should

be planted very shallow, ¼” to ½” on

medium to heavy soils and ½” to 1” on

sandy soil. Seeding rate should be around

12-15 pounds per acre (use higher rates if

seedbed is in poor shape). Direct seeding

is recommended unless fodder is needed

or you are planting on highly erodible

ground. Due to autotoxicity, alfalfa fields

should be out of alfalfa for at least one

year before reseeding with alfalfa.

FERTILIZER

Alfalfa performs the best when soil pH is

6.5 to 7.5. In most cases, this requires

lime to be applied at least one year before

going into the ground with alfalfa. Proper

pH improves availability of phosphorous

and potassium and increases activity of

nitrogen-fixing Rhizobium. Having adequate

phosphorous during the seeding year is key

for establishment. Potassium levels should

be closely monitored throughout stand life

as this nutrient likely has the most effect

on overall yield. Each ton of alfalfa removes

the equivalent of 150 pounds of 0-10-40

fertilizer. The nitrogen needs of alfalfa

should be adequately taken care of by

Rhizobium bacteria that colonize the roots

and fix nitrogen from the air.

LIFE OF STAND

When alfalfa stands fall below 40 stems

per square foot (at 6" growth), yield

potential becomes limited and no longer

profitable. Rotating the field is highly

recommended at this point.

CUTTING SCHEDULE

For the best combination of high-yield

and high-quality, first cutting should be

taken at bud stage (mid to late May). The

second cutting should be 28-33 days later

or mid-bud stage. The third cutting 38-55

days later or 25% bloom. Leave only 1” of

stubble, if possible, with your equipment.

An optional fourth cut can be taken midto

late-October after a killing frost, but

6” of stubble should be left behind to

help prevent a winterkill. No cutting is

recommended from September 1 to

mid-October, as this leaves the stand

vulnerable to not having enough root

reserves to weather the winter if a killing

frost comes in that time period.

AFTER HARVEST

Losses after harvest can be as high as

30% so following proper management

is important. Keep equipment tuned to

minimize mechanical losses and follow

proper moisture guidelines: bale hay at 18-

20% and ensile at 50-70%. Silage inoculant

can be very effective in preserving silage

quality (see chart to the right), especially

when field drying times are under two days.

PEST CONTROL

Weed control is very important the seeding

year but, after that, the return on spraying

is less economical. Spraying older stands

does little to change tonnage but may

improve quality based on weed species

being killed.

The main insect pest to monitor in the

Midwest is the Potato Leafhopper which

moves up from the south and does damage

to the second and third crop. Normally, it

is economically justifiable to spray once or

twice for Leafhoppers.

management, contact our office for a

complimentary management guide.

should help in more precise ordering of

seed.

Bulk boxes are targeted to have 6,300,000

seeds per box (45-140,000 seed units).

In cases where seed is too large, we will

put in as much seed as we can fit and

reduce the price according to the amount of

seed in the box.

Ideal depth for planting soybeans is ¾“.

Maximum depth is 1½”. Soybeans must

be able to push the entire seed out of the

ground. Putting the seed too deep under

less than ideal conditions can prevent the

seed from doing this.

Planting population should be around

150,000 to 200,000 for narrow row planting

(15” or less). For wider rows the population

should be in the 130,000 to 170,000

range. Population should be adjusted up or

down based on the condition of the seed

bed and ability of the planter to put seeds at

proper depth and spacing.


NEW SEED VERSUS BIN RUN

WHEN YOU BUY RENK SOYBEANS YOU GET SOME HUGE BENEFITS OVER USING SAVED SEEDS.

NEWEST GENETICS

To keep soybean genetics advancing in yield and to bring

new traits to the market costs a lot of money. Your purchase

of soybeans funds this costly development process. It is

estimated that genetically modified soybeans increased the

national farm income by $1.56 billion. Past funding has

allowed the development of Genuity ® Roundup Ready 2

Yield ® and is funding the development of drought-resistant

soybeans among other new technologies. Everyone benefi ts;

you get higher yielding varieties with new traits while we can

keep our breeding work moving forward.

HIGHEST QUALITY SEED

Our growing and processing of seed revolves around giving

you pure, high germinating, weed-free seed. Bin run seed

will never match the quality of seed we can produce. Don’t

take the risk of putting seed in the ground with unknown

germination and/or purity. We also maintain a full stable of

varieties across different maturities to meet your seed needs.

NEW SEED PAYS

When you factor in all of the above, you can see a defi nite

benefi t to using new seed. University studies show a 1.2-5.9

bushel advantage. Don’t forget the hidden costs of bin run

beans: loss of grain to sell, cleaning cost, transportation/

storage costs, no warranty and higher planting rates to offset

lower germination.

PHYTOPHTHORA RESISTANCE

3A Resistant to races 1-5, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, 16, 18, 23, 25

WARRANTY BENEFITS

Weather and planting conditions can make even the

best seed fail. When this happens, we stand behind our

soybeans. If you have stand issues after planting, we can

get you new seed at a discounted price.

New Renk soybeans offer big benefits to farmers.
