She's back!! Queen is a tough, flex-ear hybrid.  Originally designed for high-stress fields, Queen really shines in regenerative fields.  Works on heavy and wet soils and medium to lighter soil types.  Plant from 14,000-25,000 ppa on stress fields and 28-30,000 ppa on better soils. Massive root system.  Pollinates early with a long grainfill period.  Not suitable for late planting.  Very dark green plant with a unique look.  Ears are yellow-orange bricks with deep, square kernels.  Can set 2 ears at lower pops.  Very healthy—takes time to dry down in the fall; needs a hard frost to kill it. Holds plant size, even under stress.  Solid dual-purpose hybrid if chopping silage.  Has skirted 300 bu in our research trials.  A good option for interseeded cover crops and reduced N.

Pairs really well with Madeline (RM 95) for very diverse genetics in this maturity.  Betty (RM 101) and Maria (RM 101) are the best pairings for regenerative fields.
