1 Each company assigns a corn heat unit (CHU) rating to each of their hybrids.  The CHU rating is a measure of relative maturity and is one criteria for choosing a hybrid suitable to your growing region.

2 See table below for explanation of codes for special genetic traits.  Although the Manitoba Corn Committee believes that information contained in this report is accurate, growers are advised to consult dealers of the respective hybrids before making purchasing or management decisions.  Seeds Canada provides a database for corn hybrids available in Canada at https://seeds-canada.ca/corn-hybrid-database.  Information provided includes technology, brand name and refuge requirements.

3 Moisture content at harvest

4 Milk per Acre was calculated using MILK2006, a model developed by the University of Wisconson Extension Service.

5 Beef per Acre was calculated on the assumption that one pound of beef is produced for every six pounds of TDN.
