KingFisher & Red Tail Corn Hybrids

KingFisher & the traited Red Tail Corn Hybrids are focused on forage and grain-feeding types of corn hybrids.  We focus on hyrids that excell in the characteristics that make better forage and feed (silage and grain.)

To help you, the farmer/livestock producer, choose the hybrids that best fit your goals for feed, our hybrids are rated for NDF and starch digestibly, in addition to the agronomic traits.  This approach also helps our seed team develop a cropping plan for your farm.  Think of it as a three legged stool: Agronomic Performance, Grain Yield and Feeding performance.  Together they make a strong dependable base to build upon and rely on – no matter what the growing conditions are.

  • FiberGest – what we call NDFd, is a major focus as the KingFisher and Red Tail team chooses the lineup for silage.  We retain a laboratory to analyze the hybrids we are considering.  A higher NDFd number is better because the cow will get more out of the silage she is fed.
  • SofStarch – Ranks hybrids for corn grain that will be more digestible in the rumen and small intestine.  Corn starch digests faster than corn NDF.  We use multiple time points to measure the fast and slow availability starch digestion pools.

KingFisher hybrids are available both treated and untreated.

KF 27C10

This short season hybrid is a medium-tall robust corn with very good stalk and root strength and very good Tar Spot tolerance.

KF 34C30

Impressive performance across high and low yield environments for silage and dry grain. Above average disease ratings. Great stay green for very good dry down in late season. Great test weight with great starch digestibility.

KF 37C60

Attractive hybrid with strong yield and agronomics. A medium plant with medium ear placement.

KF 38C80

A dual-purpose hybrid with semi-flex ears and excellent seedling vigor. Consistent yield and widely adapted across northern regions and soil types. Excellent stalk and very good root strength.

KF 42C20

High yield with flex ears and impressive grain quality, outstanding silage hybrid for quantity and quality.

KF 43C40

Very high yielding grain potential, showy canopy closes quickly, dual purpose grain or silage plant, flex ears, great corn-on-corn option.

KF 44C20

Attractive hybrid with strong agronomics. Girthy, flex-style ears bring top yield potential.

KF 45C30

A medium-tall hybrid with semi-erect leaves that produces long flexed ears with 16-18 kernels around. Very good stay green and excellent tolerance to Goss’s Wilt and Gray Leaf Spot. Keep in zone for best performance.

KF 48C10

Very consistent hybrid with excellent emergence and excellent late season intactness and plant health.

KF 48C90

Excellent yield potential for maturity with fast dry down for timely grain harvest, excellent emergence and very good disease ratings.

KF 51C80

Tall, robust, versatile hybrid with dense canopy, excellent stalk strength and very good root ratings. Stay green is excellent.

KF 52C20

High yielding potential, very good stay green, very heat and stress tolerant, dual-purpose grain or silage hybrid, big plant, white cob with medium placed flex ears.

KF 54C90

Medium-tall healthy plant with excellent flex. Widely adapted across all environments.

KF 56C30

Excellent emergence, very good seedling vigor, very good disease package, stress and drought tolerant, semiflex ears.

KF 57H50

An improved ultra high-oil hybrid that can be used as a sidekick or stand alone with improved yield and standability. A medium-tall hybrid with broad, thick leaves that produces long flexed ears with 16-18 kernels around. Exhibits very good stay green and has very good disease tolerance.

KF 59B70

Brown mid-rib for improved digestibility and increased milk production, this non-GMO hybrid is daylight sensitive (moving it into northern regions of the corn belt will cause it to exhibit shorter maturity).

KF 59C30

High-yielding versatile hybrid that’s widely adapted across all environments. Medium-tall robust plant.

KF 60S60

Male sterile hybrid ideal for farms in niche markets that do not want grain in the diet. Appropriate for silage or grazing. The corn crop will be very high in sugar as grain is not formed. The plant will also take on a red color as sugar increases over time. Note: Isolation from standard corn is recommended.

KF 61C90

Medium-tall plant with good flex and widely adapted across all environments. Versatile hybrid with very good feed quality.

KF 62C40

A high yield potential hybrid, medium tall plant healthy plant with great roots and stalk strength.

KF 63C10

High silage producer in terms of both quantity and quality, good ear length and excellent flex, deep kernels, highly rated disease package, drought and heat tolerant.

KF 64C40

Medium-tall plant, medium-high ear placement, wide dense leaves with good canopy, excellent agronomics over multiple years of testing.

KF 65C90

A true-flex hybrid with large girthy ears, excellent track record for performance through the years.

KF 66B80

Brown mid-rib for improved digestibility and increased milk production, this extra-leafy hybrid is medium-tall with high ear placement. This hybrid features extreme stalk expansion at low populations.

KF 66C70

A tall plant, dual purpose hybrid with great eye appeal and high yield potential

KF 67C20

Consistent high yields, excellent agronomics, very good disease ratings, broadly adapted regions.

RT 27T11

Medium tall hybrid with fast emergence and early season vigor. Can move into longer season zones as an early hybrid. Fast dry down for silage. Adapted to all soil types.

RT 38T89
