“Golden Acres corn holds up under the heat and yields better.  I think they put a little more work into it, for our area. And I like working with a smaller company—the bigger ones don’t seem to care as much.”

-William Goad (San Benito, Texas)

“Golden Acres corn is well-suited to our farm, considering the kind of weather we get.  It’s been better than the DeKalb and Pioneer we’ve been planting.  Golden Acres is real farmer-oriented, too.  I would give them an A+.”

-Kenneth Oswalt (Plantersville, Mississippi)

“I’ve been planting Golden Acres corn for the past six years.  Their hybrids consistently out-yield the others by 600 to 800 pounds each year.  Standability and drydown are excellent—Golden Acres is just better adapted to this area.”

-Ron Olivarez (Harlingen, Texas)

“Our family has been planting Golden Acres seed since the 60’s.  Everybody’s seed works in the good years, but how does it perform in the tough years?  Consistent performance is a big reason we stick with Golden Acres.”

-Mark Lamon (D’Hanis, Texas)

“We plant a test plot every year—around 15-20 varieties—and Golden Acres always out-produces everybody else.  They’re breeding for the southern region, so their corn is more adapted to us than those Midwestern companies.  We’re 100% Golden Acres.”

-Richard Herbrich (La Grange, Texas)

“We’ve planted Golden Acres for more than 10 years.  Their corn has been real consistent in wet years and dry years, and it has good plant health.  We’re about 100 miles from the coast and plant health can be a problem, but the Golden Acres holds up well.”

-Stephen Mahalitc (Eagle Lake, Texas)

“We switched to all Golden Acres grain sorghum this year.  We rely on the Texas A & M test plot data and Golden Acres always does well.  Standability is very important to us and I like what I see from Golden Acres.”

-Jeff Webber (Pilot Point, Texas)

“I think Golden Acres is really going in the right direction with their genetics.   Their flex ear hybrids allow us to plant at lower populations and still make great yields.  Both the corn and milo works well for this area.”

-Jay Lindley (Dimmitt, Texas)

"I like the Bt in 2841RRB and the standability of the milo, especially 737 in wet years."

-Bob West (Rio Hondo, Texas)

"I like the consistency of 2841RRB and 27Z07 from Golden Acres Genetics.  Golden Acres is 'top notch' with consistent varieties and a better price for the quality."

-Ronald Olivarez (Harlingen, Texas)

"Golden Acres 2841RRB has a consistent yield year after year on both irrigated and dryland operations."

-Edmund Sebesta (Sommerville, TX)

"The personnel, integrity of representatives and the friendliness....Golden Acres is willing to help you out with any problems."

-Charles Krackau (New Braunfels, TX)

"Golden Acres 3545 has good exsertion and yields in a dry year; however, 3827 is better in a wet year."

-David Dreibrodt (San Marcos, TX)

"Golden Acres 2841RRB and 27Z07 are my favorite hybrids because of the rootworm protection."

-Donnovan Chudej (Schullenberg, TX)

"With less than an inch of rain, 26Z24 was one of my best hybrids.  It held on well and still had a higher end bushel weight of 57."

-Mike Mutchler (Port Lavaca, TX)

"I was very pleased with Golden Acres 26Y37 and 2821RLH."

-H and H Farms (LaGrange, TX)

"Having the dry year that we had it stayed green on dryland, and also responded well to irrigation."

-Neil Reynolds (Wharton, TX)

"737 is a short plant that matures fast with a high yield.  Works well in my light soil.  3552 has good yield potential, stands well and holds up well in wet conditions."

-Dennis Polak, D & B Farms (East Bernard, TX)

"I was pleased with 26Y37 because of its high bushel weight in these dry conditions."

-Darrell Sklar (Edna, TX)

"I like 3545 because it made better than anticipated in a dry year."

-Melvin Marek (Taylor, TX)

"2821RLH is consistent, consistent, consistent.  In years with high moisture, it is high yielding.  In dry years, it is a TOP YIELDER."

-Stephen Mahalitc (Eagle Lake, TX)

"Golden Acres is proactive when it comes to getting your seed delivered and on replants.  I am also impressed with the Golden Giving program."

-David Westerfield (Crawford, TX)
