The thought of farmers calculating their potential yield income on an iPhone would have sounded like madness a decade ago. It's now become a reality.
Golden Acres has introduced the Trait Value Calculator. Anyone can compare Golden Acres’ Genuity VT Triple Pro corn hybrids to double-stack and triple-stack hybrids, as well as to any other competitor’s seed. Input the actual unit price of seed and planted acres, and it provides an estimated return on investment based on each farmer’s yield target, acreage, trait technology advantages and the current commodity price for corn. Farmers can know which seed will yield the most money on their farm before they buy it!
It’s a calculation process that could become complicated with pen and paper, but the Trait Value Calculator makes it clear and easy. Just visit www.GAseed.com, or download it as an iPhone Application. Technology's increasing portability has allowed Golden Acres to give farmers an added advantage in choosing the corn hybrids that make the most financial sense for their fields. Add that to the experience and local, southern knowledge of their representatives, and the result is true peace of mind, no matter the weather.
As an independent and family-owned company based in Waco, Texas, Golden Acres Genetics focuses 100% of its efforts on the southern states of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas to select the best traits and genetics for southern soils. Everyone at Golden Acres, from the president down, walks the fields and examines plots to find the best performing corn and grain sorghum seed and related technologies to market to farmers across the southern half of the United States.
