Olive will win your heart and a place on your farm by being a hybrid you can count on.  Not a real showy hybrid, Olive has a bushy open canopy.  Suitable across soil types and works well east to west.  Best on rotated acres.  Watch for disease pressure when present in area, especially east; fungicide application may be beneficial.  Susceptible to Tar Spot – manage when present.  Good staygreen in the fall.  Olive brings consistent high yields and high testweights with orange-yellow kernels on large ears.

Good pairings are Alice (RM 112), Olenna (RM 112), and Maude (RM 114).
