Choosing 2025 Hybrids

As 2025 winds down, many growers are already making decisions for the 2026 crop. One of the biggest choices ahead is selecting the right seed. Remember, no single hybrid fits every acre. Some fields perform best with a racehorse hybrid, while others need more of a dependable workhorse.

Price matters, but it shouldn’t be the only factor. Choose hybrids that match each field and your management style. A racehorse hybrid won’t deliver top-end yield if it isn’t fed the inputs it needs.

SFG offers a strong lineup of hybrids to fit any operation. Dekalb and Croplan both provide options for high-management, high-yield acres as well as tougher, lower-input fields. SFG also offers variable-rate planting services and can create planting scripts tailored to your fields and hybrid needs.

A lot has changed over the years in hybrid selection. When it’s time to plan for next season, take the time to visit with your SFG agronomist to choose the hybrids that will set your operation up for success.
